New Delhi: At least seven AAP MLAs resigned from the party just a week before the upcoming Delhi assembly elections, PTI reported. The MLAs were disgruntled after being denied tickets for the February 5 polls and were in touch with other parties. Most of them shared their resignation letters on social media and slammed AAP over corruption and other issues.

Madan Lal, the outgoing MLA from Kasturba Nagar, claimed on Friday that he and six other party legislators had resigned from AAP's primary membership. Lal said they had also sent their resignation letters to Delhi Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel. The AAP MLAs who have resigned also include Bhavna Gaud (Palam), Naresh Yadav (Mehrauli), Rohit Mehraulia (Trilokpuri) and Pawan Sharma (Adarsh Nagar).
