Though Kejriwal was not present at the venue, sources said he was contacted at a crucial juncture when the members seemed to agree to a suggestion made by Yadav and Bhushan to reconstitute the body and hold fresh elections. The Delhi CM, however, was in no mood to yield even an inch to those backing Yadav and Bhushan.

The script for the removal of the duo was written much before the meeting began on Wednesday afternoon on the outskirts of Delhi. Early in the morning, AAP leader Pankaj Gupta reportedly called up Yadav and Bhushan to convey to them that Kejriwal had quit the national convenor's post and had refused to reconsider the decision unless some issues against the duo were sorted out.
Later, three important members of the AAP were sent to convey to Yadav and Bhushan that the national executive and members of the Delhi unit had lost faith in them and that they step down to break the 'stalemate' within the party.

In response, Yadav and Bhushan suggested that fresh elections be held for the PAC. Both volunteered not to contest. The intermediaries seemed amenable to the suggestion and it was decided that the idea would be discussed by the executive. In the meantime, Bhushan sent two messages to Kejriwal, but he did not respond.
Before the meeting, there was some last-minute drama. The Kejriwal faction counted its numbers and realised that it had ten people supporting the decision to remove Yadav and Bhushan; nine were opposed to it. (Apart from Kejriwal, Mayank Gandhi also opted out). Not willing to take a chance, the Kejriwal faction reportedly called up the Rajasthan unit of AAP and asked it to not send a particular member - they feared would oppose the decision to oust Yadav and Kejriwal - for the meeting. When they were told that he had already left to attend the meeting, the state unit was asked to send someone else - a member loyal to the Kejriwal faction. With the last-minute 'management' done, the stage was set for an 11-8 verdict.
