Chandigarh, Jan 16: Rebel Aam Aadmi Party MLA Baldev Singh Wednesday resigned from the party's primary membership.
"As a result of your dictatorial, arrogant and autocratic style of functioning, pioneers of AAP like Prashant Bhushan, Yogendra Yadav, Medha Patkar, Kiran Bedi, Dr. Gandhi, H S Khalsa, Sucha Singh Chhotepur, Gurpreet Ghuggi, Ashish Khetan, Ashutosh, H S Phoolka etc. have all left the party or have been thrown out in a humiliating manner, he alleged.


 

Therefore, keeping these saddening developments and circumstances in mind... I have decided to quit as a primary member of the AAP, Baldev Singh said.
The AAP legislator from Jaitu tendered his resignation to Kejriwal. He is the second MLA to quit the party after Bholath MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira -- another AAP rebel who resigned on January 6.

Accusing its leadership of "giving up its basic ideology and principles and party chief Arvind Kejriwal of being "dictatorial and arrogant".
