Overview
- Amit Palekar resigned from AAP’s primary membership in a letter to Arvind Kejriwal and Atishi, citing limited consultation and decisions flowing from the top.
- Acting state chief Shrikrishna Parab, youth wing president Rohan Naik, and other office-bearers also quit, with vice-presidents Chetan Kamat and Sarfaraz confirming departures.
- Palekar was removed as Goa AAP president on December 24 after the party contested 42 Zilla Panchayat seats solo and won only one, in Colva.
- Palekar has argued that alliances with like-minded Opposition parties are necessary to challenge the BJP in Goa and said he supports a united Opposition.
- Parab said he resigned in protest over Palekar’s removal, and Palekar indicated he would outline his next steps in due course.
