In a significant political shift, Swati Maliwal, former chairperson of the Delhi Commission for Women, announced her resignation from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), accusing party chief Arvind Kejriwal of abandoning the core values of honesty and transparency. In her resignation statement posted on X, Maliwal alleged she was physically assaulted at Kejriwal’s residence and faced intimidation aimed at silencing her. She expressed concerns about rising corruption and the promotion of 'thuggish elements' within the party. This turmoil is compounded by the recent exodus of seven Rajya Sabha MPs, including Raghav Chadha, who stated that two-thirds of the party's Rajya Sabha members have left and will join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Chadha criticized AAP for straying from its founding principles, emphasizing his long-standing commitment to the party over the past 15 years. The resignations and allegations further highlight the deepening crisis within AAP, raising questions about its future direction.
