Subject: Crisis and Power Struggle in Kerala AAP
Dear Sirs,
May I introduce myself as Kollara Joby, a humble AAP volunteer residing in Kottayam District of Kerala State.
At the outset, I would like to congratulate Team AAP in Delhi and National team for the outstanding performance in Delhi governance as well as the genuine dedication shown towards the fight against corruption. As a common man, may I show my appreciation and gratitude for the noble fight for the common man of our great nation. In fact, like many, I am also attracted and motivated to strive towards corruption free country.
However, being a believer of AAP ideology, I understand it is my obligation to enlighten the AAP National Team regarding the unfortunate issues related to the crisis and power struggle happening within Team AAP Kerala State. I have taken this step after my several failed attempts of reasoning with current AAP lead team to find amicable solutions.
Members of the present State Executive nominated by Mr. Prashant Bhutan do not show any interest towards spreading AAP ideology in primary level and have failed to reach the mass in ground level. In fact, Senior members are focused in attending debates media channels while the District level members appointed by them are being encouraged to become minions in order to preserve their position. There are many low level humble volunteers disheartened to continue their selfless activities. As a result, this great movement in Kerala is now crumbling from inside. Some of the issues are observed are noted below:
Disciplinary actions including termination are taken against founder members by claiming and excercising undue power. State spokesperson Mr. KP Ratheesh addressed the media and informed that the founder members do not have any privilege, which is against the constitution of AAP (kindly refer the following links:

Some of them have gone open to the media against official State Team tarnishing the image of our virtuous cause.
Currently, District Executives are appointed by State Committee. A few Blocks are formed by the appointed District Committees. Primary units are formed rarely. Active memberships are approved only to those swearing allegiance to the persons in District Executive, thereby ensuring that their control will not be lost, even if an internal election happens! Volunteers are not educated and informed on AAP Constitution and efforts towards internal election are curbed by unethical means of lies, half-truths and distortion of facts.
Corruption is also alleged against some of the appointed members. Funds are collected in local level from dishonest sources without receipt is an example where transparency is not shown. Unaudited spending has resulted in involving Police cases too!
There are cases where sincere volunteers who have participated from IAC Campaign onwards have been discredited and their genuine efforts to spread the ideology to grass root level have been proclaimed as self-promotion and insulted to the media.
Those genuine primary units are being discarded on the view that they could not be controlled! They have hijacked official social media too where blind allies of existing parties are retained but expelled well-wishers without difference of opinion without any mercy!
I trust AAP has evolved nationally through a culture of equality, respect, transparency, humbleness, openness and sharing. Unfortunately, Kerala Team in power does not show any of these traits.
With all these, I believe time has come for the national team to intervene to uplift the values we proudly present to the common man lest AAP activities in Kerala will be jeopardized. I trust whatever issues I have raised are in capable hands and hope everything will be alright within the near future.
Jai Hind!

This letter received me from one of my friend. It is the right space to publish it to strengthen AAP from grass root level. If we are not aware of the crooked/spies occupied state and district committees nominated by unknown sources is harmful to AAP. Don't waste one crore on each LS constituency which is a waste from common man's donation from his tear.
