New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party received a jolt on Saturday after senior party leader Yogendra Yadav and Haryana convener Naveen Jaihind tendered their resignation from party’s political affairs committee and national executive respectively over alleged bickering between the two.
Both have, however, clarified that they have not resigned from the party, but from the posts they held. “Rumours about my quitting AAP are baseless. I am very much with the party and committed to working for it harder than ever,” Mr Yadav tweeted.
When asked why he quit as the PAC member, he declined to comment. Party spokesperson and Delhi unit secretary Dilip Pandey clarified that the duo quit as members of the PAC and NE and not from the party.
Pankaj Gupta, party’s national secretary, said that the issue will be on the agenda of the national executive when it meets. Senior party leader Sanjay Singh said that Mr Yadav’s resignation will not be accepted.
