Massive blow to Arvind Kejriwal: Seven AAP MLAs resign days earlier than Delhi polls

The timing of those resignations might considerably affect the AAP’s electoral prospects as Delhi heads to the polls on 5 February. With counting scheduled for 8 February, the exodus of sitting MLAs could add to the social gathering’s woes amid corruption allegations and rising dissatisfaction inside its ranks.

Condemning the MLAs, AAP nationwide spokesperson Reena Gupta mentioned a survey performed by the social gathering had revealed that every one of them have been unavailable to the general public of their respective constituencies and that’s the reason they have been denied ballot tickets.

“We didn’t give them tickets due to the unfavourable outcomes of the survey. The truth that they’re now attending one other social gathering after being refused tickets will not be an enormous deal. It is part of politics,” Gupta mentioned.

Political observers consider that these developments might shift voter sentiments, doubtlessly benefiting the BJP and the Congress, each of which have ramped up their campaigns within the nationwide capital.

With the elections simply days away, AAP faces an uphill battle to retain energy for a fourth consecutive time period as discontent reportedly brews inside its personal ranks.
