Another AAP MLA opts out, few may be dropped

NEW DELHI: Two former AamAadmi Party MLAs have withdrawn from the race for fresh elections and the party is expected to axe maybe a few more who have underperformed. AAP has also asked Delhiites to approach it in case they have concrete evidence of corruption against any MLA.

Dr Harish Khanna, former MLA of Timarpur, cited personal reason while announcing on Thursday his decision not to contest polls. He also said he did not agree with some party policies. Initially, Rajesh Garg, former MLA from Rohini, had also declared that he would not contest.

"I developed certain issues with the party between May-June and decided then that I did not want to contest another election. The entire political system is to blame for this and I realized that a person like me could not survive in it. In fact, I was not too keen to contest even the first time but was persuaded to do so by senior members. At the time I was not happy with the unilateral way in which Arvind Kejriwal resigned from government. I raised this issue along with some others earlier in the year. However, this is an old issue and I am perfectly happy in the party. I am not leaving and will campaign for the new candidate from this constituency," Garg said.

Garg, one of the few AAP MLAs who was against the party's decision to demand dissolution of the assembly, announced his decision to not contest some months earlier. "I have been unable to fulfill the promises I made to the people. Despite so much effort, no project under the MLA funds was cleared. I do not think I will be able to work in such circumstances," said Garg.

While the party believes this is not a setback and a few MLAs might be replaced by the party itself, it has also asked Delhiites to help it monitor the work of each MLA. On Friday, it asked residents to give it feedback on the MLAs.

"The complaints received will be sent to the party's disciplinary committee and will be scrutinized threadbare based on the evidence. If a complaint is found to be credible and further probe is required, it will have a bearing on the party ticket of the candidate concerned for the forthcoming assembly elections," said a spokesperson.
