In a major blow to Arvind Kejriwal less than a week ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections, seven Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs resigned from the primary membership of the party on Friday.
Palam MLA Bhawna Gaur, in a letter addressed to the AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, said that she was quitting because she lost faith in him and the party. Kasturba Nagar legislator Madan Lal echoed her.
"I hereby resign from the primary membership of Aam Aadmi Party as I have lost faith in you and the party. Please accept the same," Bhawna Gaur and Madan Lal wrote in two separate letters.
Trilokpuri MLA Rohit Mehraulia, Janakpuri MLA Rajesh Rishi, Kasturba Nagar MLA Madan Lal, and Mehrauli MLA Naresh Yadav also quit the primary membership of the Aam Aadmi Party.
Pawan Sharma from Adarsh Nagar and BS Joon from Bijwasan were the other two AAP legislators to quit the party.
All these MLAs are those who the AAP has not given a party ticket to contest the 2025 Assembly polls. The party has fielded new faces from all these constituencies.
