<p>A day after Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan extended an olive branch to Arvind Kejriwal by seeking a meeting, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief on day responded, saying “will meet soon”. An SMS was sent to Kejriwal on Monday morning by both the leaders. In another sign of reconciliation between the two warring factions, senior leaders from the Kejriwal camp met Yadav late on Monday night and held discussions over several contentious issues, hours after the Delhi chief minister’s return from Bengaluru.Both the camps have termed the discussions as “positive”. Party sources said AAP leaders Sanjay Singh and Kumar Vishwas, Ashutosh and Ashish Khetan met Yadav late on Monday night and the discussions continued until 3am. “We were bothered with what was happening in the party for the past few days. We started talks with Yadav. The start was good,” Sanjay Singh tweeted.Sources close to Yadav too echoed similar sentiments. “There is peace after a three-hour sleep. There is peace now. We will be successful,” party leader Kumar Vishwas tweeted on Tuesday. The AAP chief flew back to Delhi on Monday night after 12 days of naturopathy treatment in Bengaluru for chronic cough and diabetes. A “fit and fresh” Kejriwal resumed work on Tuesday. Separately, a Delhi court on Tuesday fixed May 2 for delivering its order on framing of charges in a defamation case against Kejriwal and two others after they appeared before it. Metropolitan Magistrate Mayuri Singh on Tuesday directed Kejriwal, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and Yadav to appear before it in the afternoon. All three leaders later appeared in a court room at the Karkardooma court complex. Yadav took a chair on Kejriwal’s left and had a short interaction with him. The court then deferred the matter for May 2 for delivering the order on framing of charges in the case.</p>
