Notwithstanding his persistent attacks on AAP leadership, sacked Delhi minister Kapil Mishra is unlikely to face expulsion from the party.
Mishra, once a close confidant of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, had levelled corruption charges against him and other AAP leaders, which created ripples in the city politics and dented the image of the party.
"By their explusion, we don't want to give them a chance to join any other party or form a separate group in the Delhi Legislative Assembly,: said a senior party leader.
Interestingly, although suspended, the MLAs have to abide by the party whip in the Delhi Legislative Assembly or face disqualification as an MLA.
This is likely to prove critical to the party during Presidential vote. The party currently has 65 MLAs in the 70-member House in Delhi, 20 MLAs in Punjab and four Lok Sabha
