Seven AAP MLAs Resign Just Days Before Delhi Election:
In a significant political development, seven Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs have resigned ahead of the upcoming Delhi elections, scheduled for February 5. These MLAs, who include Naresh Yadav (Mehrauli), Rohit Kumar (Trilokpuri), Rajesh Rishi (Janakpuri), Madan Lal (Kasturba Nagar), Pawan Sharma (Adarsh Nagar), Bhawna Goud (Palam), and BS Joon (Bijwasan), were not given tickets to contest in the election again. Their resignation comes just five days before voting begins.
Reasons for Resignation and Criticism of AAP Leadership:
Several of the resigned MLAs have openly criticized AAP leadership, particularly party chief Arvind Kejriwal, for what they describe as a departure from the party’s founding principles. Naresh Yadav, for example, pointed out the party's failure to address corruption and its involvement in the Delhi liquor policy case. In his resignation letter, he claimed that the AAP had become entangled in corruption and had abandoned its commitment to “honest politics.”
Bhawna Goud, the MLA from Palam, directed her disappointment at Kejriwal, stating that she had lost faith in him. Similarly, Rajesh Rishi from Janakpuri expressed discontent over the party’s drift from its original anti-corruption values, calling AAP a "cesspit of nepotism and corruption."
Specific Concerns Raised by Resigning MLAs:
Rohit Kumar Mehraulia from Trilokpuri highlighted his dissatisfaction with AAP’s failure to address key issues such as providing permanent jobs to temporary workers and addressing the needs of marginalized communities like Dalits and Valmikis. He had initially joined the party with hopes of social justice but claimed that the party had not lived up to its promises.
Impact on Upcoming Delhi Election:
With the Delhi election just around the corner, the resignations of these MLAs are expected to have some political ramifications. While the AAP prepares for the vote count on February 8, these high-profile exits are likely to affect the party's image among voters.
