JAMMU: 3 AAP leaders, including a District Development Council (DDC) member, along with many workers here resigned from the party.DDC participant Taranjit Singh In separate letters to Kejriwal, Tony, Yash Pal Kundal, and Namrata Sharma, the leader of the AAP’s Jammu women’s branch, announced their decision to leave the party. “Eight months have gone by, and not a single day has seen the party office in Jammu open. After repeated unsuccessful attempts to contact the leadership, we feel marginalised in the party and have chosen to leave,” Tony told reporters. He claimed that they joined the AAP in Delhi last year as a result of the party’s policies and manifesto as well as its reign in Delhi and Punjab.”The party has lost its way since the change in leadership in Jammu and Kashmir,” Tony stated. He called Kejriwal a “competent leader,” but asserted that those in charge in Jammu are “not doing any favour to the party” and have lost sight of the situation in the Union Territory. The elections for panchayats and urban local bodies are coming up, but he claimed that neither topic has been discussed, let alone a plan of attack for the elections. Over 200 AAP office-holders, including its secretary and district presidents, have resigned, according to Kundal, and are now free to join any “secular party.”
