New Delhi, Jan 31: Seven Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have resigned just a week before the Delhi Assembly elections, which are scheduled for Friday.
The MLAs who have stepped down are: Rohit Maharoliya from Trilokpuri, Madan Lal from Kasturba Nagar, Rajesh Rishi from Janakpuri, Bhavna Gaud from Palam, Bhupender Singh June from Bijwasan, and Pawan Kumar Sharma from Adarsh Nagar.
Rohit Kumar Mehraulia, the MLA from Trilokpuri, resigned from all party positions and his primary membership, citing the AAP's failure to fulfill its promises to uplift the Dalit/Valmiki community. He accused the party of exploiting his community for political gain while neglecting important issues, such as ending contract employment and securing permanent positions for temporary staff. Mehraulia, who had been a supporter of AAP's rise to power, expressed his disappointment over the suppression of his concerns within the party.
Pawan Kumar Sharma, representing Adarsh Nagar, also voiced his dissatisfaction, stating, "The party has deviated from the honest ideology on which the Aam Aadmi Party was founded. I am deeply saddened by the state of the party. Please accept my resignation."
