Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) former MP Ashok Tanwar resigned from the primary membership of the party on Thursday. He said the reason is the alignment of the AAP with the Indian National Congress for the Chandigarh Mayor elections.
He wrote a resignation letter to AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal. In his letter, he said, “In view of the current political scenario and your alignment with the Congress, my ethics won’t allow me to continue as Election Campaign Committee Chairman, Aam Aadmi Party, Haryana.
Therefore, kindly accept my resignation from the primary membership and all other responsibilities of the AAP.” He added, “As a responsible citizen of this country, and having been in active politics since student days, I always believed in the Constitution, the country, and the people first.
I will continue to work for the betterment of the state of Haryana. Our beloved country, Bharat, and its people.” Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party had decided to jointly contest the Chandigarh Mayor elections.
AAP was going to contest for the mayor seat, while Congress was contesting for senior deputy mayor. The Chandigarh mayoral elections were scheduled to be held on Thursday, but the date was pushed back citing the ill health of the designated presiding officer.
