Maharashtra AAP Volunteers, Leaders Quit Party , Back Yadav, Bhushan

04 May,Mumbai

Nearly 350 Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) volunteers and leaders from Maharashtra today quit the party in protest against the manner in which Arvind Kejriwal is running the party.

Maruti Bhapkar, former state executive committee member of AAP unit in Maharashtra said by resigning, the workers are showing their support for the expelled leaders Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav.

Bhapkar who led the workers in the mass resignation programme which was held in Pune, said they are now with Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan to strengthen their hands to afloat the concept of Swaraj throughout the country in true sense.

He added that one can think about the insensitivity of so-called leader Arvind Kejriwal that a farmer died before his eyes and he kept on his political speech.

He informed that besides Pune, volunteers from Mumbai, Nashik, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Aurangabad, Navi Mumbai etc. too came to Pune to quit AAP.

Manav Kamble, another former senior leader from AAP, has also joined hands with Bhapkar. Downplaying the resignations, Ravi Srivastava, member of AAP State Executive Committee said a handful of party workers are leaving the party and that comprises no senior leaders or workers. So there won’t be any impact on the party.
