“We were sacked because we had raised questions on party principles. We had said that party was moving in a wrong direction...We are still committed to same values which we had embraced in Jantar Mantar,” he added.

AAP leader Mayank Gandhi had earlier in the day said that Yadav and Bhushan must set aside their egos and rejoin the party for betterment of the nation.

His remark came after Kejriwal stated that he would be happy if the duo come back to the party fold.
