In a sign of reconciliation between the warring factions of the AAP, senior leaders from the Arvind Kejriwal camp met Yogendra Yadav on Monday night and held discussions over several contentious issues, hours after the Delhi Chief Minister’s return from Bengaluru.
Both camps have termed the discussions as “positive”.
Party sources said AAP leaders Sanjay Singh, Kumar Vishwas, Ashutosh and Ashish Khetan met Mr. Yadav late Monday night and the discussions continued until 3 a.m.
The discussions took place at a time when Mr. Yadav and Prashant Bhushan had sought time from Mr. Kejriwal for a meeting to put an end to the ongoing controversy. A message was sent to Mr. Kejriwal on Monday morning on behalf of both leaders.
Though there was no response from Mr. Kejriwal to the SMS till late Monday night, AAP leaders then met Mr. Yadav.
“We were bothered with what was happening in the party for the past few days. We started talks with Yogendra (Yadav) bhai. The start was good,” Mr. Singh tweeted.
पिछले दिनों जो कुछ भी चल रहा था उस पर हुमलोग चिंतित थे आज >@AapYogendra भाई के साथ बात चीत की अच्छी शुरुवात हुई है, बात आगे भी जारी रहेगी।

“There is peace after a three-hour sleep. There is peace now. We will be successful,” party leader Mr. Vishwas tweeted on Tuesday morning.
Good Morning.3 घण्टे की नींद के बाद भी सुकून है.हम होंगे कामयाब"स्याह रात नहीं नाम लेती ढलने का,यही तो वक़्त है सूरज तेरे निकलने का"
— Dr Kumar Vishvas (@DrKumarVishwas) >March 17, 2015Over the past few weeks, the AAP had been embroiled in internal turmoil with leaders from both the camps making accusations and levelling allegations against each other.
Mr. Kejriwal flew back to Delhi on Monday night after 12 days of naturopathy treatment in Bengaluru for chronic cough and diabetes.
