Terming the continued tussle within Aam Admi Party(AAP) as a "struggle for power" and "opportunism", the BJP said Delhi will not see any progress in such a situation and those who were elected to power will have to answer public for the same.
Congress said the "laboratory of AAP experiment is on fire" and accused AAP chief and chief minister Arvind Kejriwal of demeaning his party and the political class.
Taking a dig at AAP, former Jammu & Kashmir chief minister and National Conference leader Omar Abdullah said it was becoming more like "older parties".

The CPM termed the ongoing tussle in AAP as an internal affair of the party but said the rift should not affect the welfare of the people of Delhi who had voted the party to power.
Finance minister and senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley said that AAP should fulfill the promises it had made to the public during Delhi assembly polls and that people of the city had a lot of expectations when they voted for this government.
"With a lot of expectation and high hopes, people of Delhi had chosen the government. The promises which AAP and its leaders have made with public, they must fulfil them," Jaitley told reporters in Varanasi. "They should not let this historical opportunity go waste just because of their immature politics."
Nalin Kohli, BJP's national spokesperson, said the turmoil in AAP has to do with fight for power. "It is a fight of opportunism," he said.

What Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan camp alleged
Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi said it is the people of Delhi who are suffering the most due to the AAP's internal turmoil.
"First AAP should set its house in order and start delivering in Delhi. That is our concern, Delhi citizens' concern and Delhi community's concern. And this kind of laundering goes on in open spectacle every day... then I think Delhi is the biggest sufferer," Singhvi said, adding the allegations and counter allegations by rival factions in AAP are "extremely serious".
Another Congress spokesperson Sanjay Jha said, "I understand that AAP is an experiment. But right now it so happens that the laboratory is on fire. That's all."
"The ongoing tussle is the internal affair of the party and they must resolve it so that the people of Delhi don't have to suffer," CPM politburo member and Rajya Sabha MP Sitaram Yechury told reporters in Jammu.
Yogendra Yadav, Prashant Bhushan expelled
The month-long face-off in AAP climaxed today with the expulsion of dissident leaders Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav from its National Executive, in a possible precursor to their ouster from the party.
Amid chaos and high drama, a resolution to remove the two dissidents from the powerful panel was passed immediately after party Chief Arvind Kejriwal left the National Council following his hour-long speech in which he asked over 300 members present to choose him or the duo. The resolution was introduced by Kejriwal loyalist Manish Sisodia.

The resolution for expulsion of Yadav and Bhushan along with their supporters Anand Kumar and Ajit Jha was passed by 247 members, AAP National Secretary Pankaj Gupta said, adding while 10 members opposed it, 54 others did not take part in the voting.
Immediately after their removal, Bhushan and Yadav termed the NC meet as "unconstitutional and illegal" and did not rule out taking legal recourse against their removal.
Reacting to the NC decision, AAP's well-known leader Medha Patkar addressed a press conference in Mumbai where she announced her resignation from the party, saying Yadav and Bhushan could never work against the party.
Yadav and Bhushan said AAP's Lokpal Admiral L Ramdas (retd), who has been attending party's NC meets, was asked by the AAP leadership last evening not to attend the meeting as his presence could result in "confrontation".
Accusing Kejriwal of being dictatorial and using unfair means, the duo alleged that his people got goons to the NC meeting who beat up members opposed to the resolution.
"It was a murder of democracy. Everything played out in accordance with a predetermined script and the resolution was moved and passed within minutes completely disregarding laid down procedures. It was a total farce," said an agitated Yadav.
Bhushan said, "It is true that we can move the court, Election Commission or call another meeting of the NC. All options are open."
