In a late night development on Tuesday, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal reached out to rebellious Kumar Vishwas and expressed hope of reconciliation with the poet-turned-politician.
"I hope we will be able to reconcile," Kejriwal, who along with deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia drove to residence of Kumar Vishwas, said.
"Kumar Vishwas is integral part of our movement. He is upset over something," the Chief Minister said as he drove away with Sisodia and Vishwas.
Kejriwal and Sisodia reached Kumar's Ghaziabad residence late night on Tuesday. They went inside the house and brought Vishwas out and then drove away in a car together.

Earlier, senior party leader Sanjay Singh, Ashutosh and several Delhi MLAs arrived at Kumar's residence after the leader indicated that he could quit the party, alleging conspiracies were being hatched against him.
The crisis in the party deepened Vishwas appeared defiant despite the party's gag order of not talking to the media and said he will keep highlighting the mistakes of the AAP and say what is right in the interest of the country.
The AAP leader was particularly upset with Okhla MLA Amanatullah Khan who on Sunday had alleged that Vishwas was plotting a coup against party chief and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and that he was an "RSS-BJP agent".
He said Khan was merely a "mask" behind those hatching conspiracies against him.
"Had Amanatullah Khan said anything like this against Arvind or Manish, he would have been shown the door in 10 minutes," Vishwas said.
Reacting to this, Deputy Chief Minister and senior AAP leader Sisodia said Vishwas' comments are only hurting the party and affecting morale.
"He doesn't talk in the PAC. He should put forth his views in the PAC," Sisodia said.
