But it may not be the case any more," the leader added.At a function to mark AAPs fifth anniversary late in 2017, Vishwas had taken a jibe at his detractors and likened himself to Abhimanyu, the warrior son of Arjun in the Mahabharat, saying that he would be victorious even in death. It also wants to avoid any bloodshed before state polls and the Lok Sabha elections.The camp led by Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal no longer trusts Vishwas, said a leader close to the AAP chief, alleging that the rebel leader had sought to engineer a "coup" in the outfit.Vishwas had almost quit the party after Okhla MLA Amanatullah Khan called him a BJP-RSS agent but was persuaded to stay back after Khan was suspended from the party.Sources close to Vishwas said he would not quit the party but wait for the leadership to take action against him. He had got far more leeway because of being a senior founder member. The camp led by Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal no longer trusts Vishwas, said a leader close to the AAP chief, alleging that the rebel leader had sought to engineer a 'coup' in the outfit.But that relations between Kejriwal and Vishwas were no longer warm became apparent in 2017 when Vishwas was kept away from campaigning in Punjab.
