A senior AAP MLA in Punjab has resigned, citing growing drug problems and deteriorating law and order as reasons for his departure.
A senior member of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Punjab has stepped down from his legislative role, reportedly due to the escalating drug menace and worsening law‑and‑order situation in the state.
The resignation comes at a time when the AAP is grappling with internal divisions and a broader political churn. The party, which has been in power in Punjab since 2022, has faced criticism over its handling of drug‑related crimes and public safety.
Party officials have not yet released a formal statement, but the exit of the rebel MLA is expected to add pressure on the AAP leadership to address the growing concerns of voters and civil society.
Observers note that the resignation could signal deeper challenges for the party as it seeks to maintain its mandate amid increasing public scrutiny over governance and security issues.
