New Delhi: Before two days when AAP announced nominees for Rajya Sabha elections, Kumar Vishvas expressed his annoyance over being shorn of a Rajya Sabha nomination, the Aam Aadmi Party on Thursday hit back at the discontented leader.

AAP's Delhi assembler Gopal Rai alleged that after the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) polls in April 2017, "there were attempts to bring down the Arvind Kejriwal-led government and Kumar Vishvas was the key mover and at the centre of those conspiracies".

"Most of the meetings in this regard involving a few MLAs were held at his residence. Kapil Mishra was a part of it and later he was removed from the Cabinet," he addressed during a Facebook Live session.

For the duration of the social media session address, Rai referred to a video that Vishvas had aired openly attacking the Kejriwal government on the issue of corruption.

Rai claimed that in the course of the video, Vishvas sought to ruin the AAP's chances in the municipal polls, which the party finally lost to the BJP.

"He is a person who attacks the party from every possible public platform. Can such a person be sent to the Rajya Sabha?" Rai raised questions.

Before the day, Vishvas had tweeted that he will never juggle around with the stand on different issues that he took in the video.

"The voice of this video was, is and will remain on top for me, despite the cost I had to pay recently. I will never compromise on any stand in this video, even if more sacrifices are needed in future, because it's not just me, it's We, The Nation!" Vishwas tweeted.
