BAAP vs AAP in Delhi: What is Bharatiya Aam Aadmi Party?

This can happen only in Indian politics. A fringe group that calls itself the Bharatiya Aam Aadmi Party (BAAP) protested against Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi on Monday, demanding Delhi Law Minister Somnath Bharti's resignation.
Wearing orange caps, the BAAP supporters raised slogans against Kejriwal as they were detained and taken away from Rail Bhawan by the Delhi Police. The unmistakeable irony in the situation was recognised instantly by people on social networking sites. Twitter fairly exploded with suppressed laughter as the people struggled to out-do each other with oneliners and quips.
The Bharatiya Aam Aadmi Party members had stopped Kejriwal at the Rail Bhawan while he was on his way to North Block.But this isn't the first time an anti-AAP outfit called BAAP was seen in public space. A month ago a city court dismissed allegations of cheating against Anna Hazare, Kejriwal and former members of the India Against Corruption (IAC) movement on a complaint filed by Rumal Singh of the outfit Bharatiya Aam Aadmi Parivar (BAAP).

This version of BAAP, comprising a bunch of disgruntled AAP members, were earlier associated with the India Against Corruption (IAC) movement.
A report in The Indian Express said "BAAP is a group of AAP members, disgruntled with ticket distribution ahead of the Assembly elections and protesting against a lack of transparency".
Firstpost reported the BAAP (Bhartiya Aam Aadmi Party) protestors have said that they support the BJP and are opposed to Kejriwal's dharna and the actions of his government.
