Arvind Kejriwal’s AAP lost six MLAs today, just five days before Delhi election
New Delhi:
Seven Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs have resigned just five days before the Delhi election. The seven MLAs of Delhi’s ruling party did not get tickets to contest the election again.
The MLAs who resigned are Naresh Kumar, Rohit Kumar, Rajesh Rishi, Madan Lal, Pawan Sharma, and Bhawna Goud. Bhupinder Singh Joon was the first AAP MLA who gave his papers.
Naresh Kumar was earlier the Mehrauli candidate. He was convicted by a Punjab court in a Quran desecration case in December and sentenced to two-year jail.
When AAP released its fifth list of candidates for the Delhi election, to be held on February 5, the party announced Mahender Chaudhary as its Mehrauli candidate, replacing Naresh Kumar.
