Two members of the Punjab Legislative Assembly have quit the Aam Aadmi Party, a setback that follows the party's release of its first candidate list for the upcoming elections.
Two sitting legislators from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Punjab have tendered their resignations, according to reports. The departures were announced shortly after the party disclosed its first list of candidates for the forthcoming state elections, prompting analysts to view the move as a setback for AAP's electoral strategy in the region.
The resignations were reported by NDTV, which highlighted the timing as significant given the fresh candidate lineup. While the identities of the two MLAs were not disclosed in the brief, their exit reduces the party's representation in the state assembly ahead of the campaign.
Party officials have not issued a detailed comment on the resignations, and the AAP leadership is expected to address the internal implications as it finalises its election preparations.
The development adds a layer of uncertainty to the political landscape in Punjab, where AAP is seeking to expand its foothold ahead of the polls.
