bulbul Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 So has Kejriwal kicked her out of AAP now? Why he will decline free publicity & votes
Texan Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Why he will decline free publicity & votes hmmmm.... so now AAP is not just run-aways, liars, foul-mouthed, but also communal.
kabbirann Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Needs to be kicked out. AAP needs to be careful. This is not the AAP I support.
hhunaeh Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Needs to be kicked out. AAP needs to be careful. This is not the AAP I support. +1 AAP will lose credibility if the only action the party takes is a mildly castigating tweet.
