Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Anjali Damania on Wednesday said that she is shattered with the horse-trading allegations and added that the party should work on the principles for which it was formed.

"At the moment, I am extremely upset, very very very upset because this is not what I want out of Aam Aadmi Party. AAP is not a political party. It is that dream of hundreds and thousands of karyakartas (volunteers) who have slogged, slogged and slogged for the party. So, I don't give any leader the right to mess around with it whoever it is," Damania told ANI here.

"Whatever has happened today, I was shattered when I heard it. And I spontaneously reacted. Two things I really want to say is either this party works on the principles for which it is set or else it does not exist because the karykarats (volunteers) have slogged and slogged for the party. They want politics of principles. I sincerely request both the sides to now understand this," she added.
