In a major major revolt to the Aam Aadmi Party, 13 Aam Aadmi Party councillors have resigned from the party and announced the formation of a new party.
As per the reports, rebel AAP councillors led by Mukesh Goyal announced a new party called Indraprastha Vikas Party.
Setback For AAP
The newly formed front will be led by Hemchand Goel, with prominent former AAP leaders like Mukesh Goel, Himani Jain, Devinder Kumar, Rajesh Kumar Ladi, Suman Anil Rana, Dinesh Bhardwaj, Runakshi Sharma, Manisha, Sahib Kumar, Rakhi Yadav, Usha Sharma and Ashok Pandey playing key roles in the rebellion.
"We have formed a new party, Indraprastha Vikas Party. We have resigned from AAP. In the last 2.5 years, no work was done in the corporation which should have been done. We were in power, yet we did nothing. We have formed a new party because our ideology is to work for the development of Delhi... We will support the party which will work for the development of Delhi. So far, 15 councillors have resigned. More may join..." AAP councillor Himani Jain speaks on his resignation from party.
Before the resignation, the councillors announced a new party called Indraprastha Vikas Party.
This development comes just days after the BJP gained control of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had boycotted the elections.
