AAP Leader Resigns Over Dissatisfaction With Party’s Anti-Corruption Policies

Aam Aadmi Party leader Raaj Kumar Anand, a minister in Delhi, resigned from his position on Wednesday, citing his dissatisfaction with the party’s anti-corruption policies. This was a clear reference to the liquor policy case, in which prominent figures, including Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his former deputy Manish Sisodia, were detained.

In the Delhi Cabinet headed by Arvind Kejriwal, Raaj Kumar Anand is Patel Nagar MLA and served as Minister of Social Welfare and SC/ST.

Anand announced his resignation from his position shortly afterward, stating that he was unable to associate his name with the continued “corruption.”

“Aam Aadmi Party was born to fight corruption but today the party is stuck in a swamp of corruption. It has become difficult for me to work on the minister’s post. I resigned from the post of minister and from the party as I can’t connect my name with this corruption,” Anand said.

“From the Jantar Mantar, Arvind Kejriwal had said that the country will change once the politics changes. The politics hasn’t changed, but the politician has changed,” he added.

“I became a minister to pay back the society. I don’t want to be part of a party that takes a backseat when Dalit representation is talked about. I am not joining any party,” he said.

“We have 13 Rajya Sabha MPs, but none of them are Dalit, women or from backward classes. There is no respect for Dalit MLAs, councillors and ministers in this party. In such a situation, all Dalits feel cheated. Due to all this, it is difficult for me to remain in this party,” Anand added.
