==Complaints with AAP==
Aam Aadmi Sena was reportedly formed after [[Aam Aadmi Party|AAP]] members grew dissatisfied with the ruling tactics of [[List of chief ministers of Delhi|Chief Minister of Delhi]] [[Arvind Kejriwal]].

==Actions==
In February 2014, members of Aam Aadmi Sena peacefully protested outside the residence of [[Aam Aadmi Party]] official [[Arvind Kejriwal]] after he had resigned from the post of [[Chief Minister of Delhi]] after 49 days in office. Among the accusations made by members of AAS were that [[Arvind Kejriwal|Kejriwal]] took no action to deal with issues facing Delhi residents.<ref>{{cite news | title=Aam Aadmi Sena holds protest outside house of Kejriwal | url=http://www.deccanherald.com/videos/watch/6682/aam-aadmi-sena-holds-protest.html}}</ref>

In June 2014, residents of [[New Delhi]] continued to deal with rolling brown-outs, also referred to as load-shedding, due to peak demands for electricity and the consequences of damage to the power grid following a storm. Some members of Aam Aadmi Sena threatened to cut the electrical power supply to the residences of Congress president [[Sonia Gandhi]] and AAP leader [[Arvind Kejriwal]] in order to spur the officials into action to deal with the summer power outrages.<ref>{{cite news | title=Aam Aadmi Sena threatens to snap power supply to Sonia's house | url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/india/aam-aadmi-sena-threatens-to-snap-power-supply-to-sonia-s-house/story-uajoytTMU9WJQvqWE9rNWP.html}}</ref>
