8 AAP MLAs Resign Just Days Before Delhi Assembly Elections

The legislators cite a loss of faith in AAP leadership and alleged deviations from the party's founding principles as key reasons for their departure.

Eight AAP MLAs, including prominent members such as Naresh Yadav and Bhavna Gaur, resigned from the party five days ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections.
The resignations were largely attributed to dissatisfaction over being denied tickets to contest the upcoming polls and allegations of corruption and lack of transparency within the party.
Several resigning MLAs accused AAP of abandoning its founding principles, such as corruption-free governance and internal democracy, and expressed disappointment in the leadership of Arvind Kejriwal.
AAP has fielded candidates for all 70 seats in the upcoming elections, replacing 20 incumbent MLAs with new candidates, including turncoats from BJP and Congress.
The Delhi Assembly elections are scheduled for February 5, with vote counting set for February 8, as AAP faces challenges from BJP and Congress.
