Several AAP legislators in Punjab have quit the party, citing broken promises and the state's drug problem as they approach the upcoming polls.
Several Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) legislators from Punjab have tendered their resignations in the run‑up to the state elections, signalling a growing internal rebellion within the party. The departures come at a time when the party is intensifying its campaign across the state, and the resignations have added a new dimension to the pre‑poll political landscape.
The resigning MLAs have publicly blamed the party for failing to deliver on key promises made to the electorate, and they highlighted the persistent drug menace that continues to affect Punjab's youth and society. Their statements suggest that unmet expectations and concerns over law‑and‑order issues have eroded confidence in the party's governance agenda.
Party officials have not yet issued a detailed response to the resignations, but political analysts note that the move could weaken AAP's electoral prospects in constituencies where the defectors held sway. The developments are likely to influence voter sentiment as the state prepares for a closely watched election.
