AAP leader Anjali Damania quits party
Announcing her decision on twitter, the leader from Maharashtra said she joined the AAP based on its the party's principle and not for horse-trading. "I believed in Arvind Kejriwal, all volunteers did. We backed him for principles. I can't take this," she said.
Earlier in the day former AAP MLA Rajesh Garg released an audio of his conversation with Kejriwal showing how the the party chief was allegedly encouraging horse-trading before the Delhi polls in 2014.
Garg claimed that Kejriwal had tried to convince six Congress MLAs, to get full majority for the party.
Beset with internal strife, the party has already witnessed a rift between its founding members Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan and the Kejriwal loyalists.
Alogether 60 MLAs have written to party leadership seeking removal of Yadav and Bhushan to set an example for others. They have alleged that both the leaders wanted the party's defeat in the 2015 assembly polls in Delhi.
Earlier, in the National Executive meeting held on March 4, Yadav and Bhushan were removed from the party's Political Affairs Committee.
