Anjali Damania says leaders should take the initiative to change AAP , not simply blog or complain . The letters by Admiral L. Ramdas and Prashant Bhushan are the ones that matter , and the issues they raised should be addressed . My objection is that instead of merely raising questions , people should contribute to the party by working for it . The problems have to be , and will be , addressed . It won ’ t take more than a month or so for the party to set everything right . Talking about the funds , I will say let the expenses and accounts reach the office . We have fought three elections in a year , which is too much for any small party . Every single issue raised is important for the party . The only problem is that this should not be done via the media ; it needs to be done by holding internal talks . Mayank Gandhi should have demanded that the recordings and the minutes be made public in the meeting which he had attended . What is the meaning of simply raising questions ? Every leader needs to think about it . If a volunteer is punished when he is wrong , even leaders should be held accountable . The party ’ s national executive was called only to tackle the problems . The issues raised are important , and people should take the onus to set the system right and not simply raise questions or write blogs . I genuinely feel Prashantji is a very respectful person . When he made those statements , my respect ( for him ) went down a bit . I would definitely like to see him as a leader of the party . We don ’ t expect him to make a mistake at all . There is no question of his marginalisation . He should be supported for a larger , better role by everyone . Ankit Lal , Ashutosh and Khetan need to apologise sincerely for what they have done . They need to be pulled up . Every volunteer wants transparency on accounts , candidate selection and other decisions . We had six months after the Lok Sabha polls . Why didn ’ t those who raise questions help carve out these mechanisms then ? The camp system is wrong and if it exists , it should be demolished . I do not want to comment on Yogendra Yadav at all . As a volunteer I beg and plead all leaders to thrash out their differences . We should have more faces , there are many leading lights . And women need to be brought forward .
