JAMMU: Taranjit Singh Tony, DDC Suchetgarh and Chairman of AAP Jammu and Kashmir for Administrative Engagement & Minority Affairs and Yash Pal Kundal, Chairman ST, SC OBC Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) J&K and former minister today tendered their resignation from the primary membership of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
Addressing a press conference at Press Club Jammu, Tony and Kundal said that they had initially joined the Aam Aadmi Party inspired by the commendable governance model implemented in Delhi and Punjab, alongside people-friendly policies. However, they expressed deep disappointment over the failure of organizational functionaries, including Prabharis and Seh Prabharis, to effectively engage with the people, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir.
“One glaring example of this disconnect is the prolonged closure of the AAP office in Jammu, which has spanned more than eight months,” they lamented.
They underscored the lack of visible efforts by Prabharis and Seh Prabharis to establish a functional Party Head office in Jammu, leading to a breakdown in communication and outreach. Despite repeated attempts to address these concerns and seek support for AAP’s activities, they conveyed his frustration at the lack of response from responsible individuals within the party hierarchy.
“The prolonged closure of our party office and the inability to foster meaningful engagement with the people have left me with no choice but to resign from the Aam Aadmi Party,” they said and announced their resignations from the primary membership of AAP, a decision mirrored by Panches, Sarpanches, and senior functionaries of the party in Jammu and Kashmir.
District President Sham Lal Bhagat, General Secretary Mandeep Chaudhary, Kunti Devi, Sarpanch Shashi Bhagat, Tilak Raj Bhagat, Sarabjit Singh, T.S Happy Sarpanch, Bal Krishan, Rakesh Kundal, Kika Choudhary Naib Sarpanch, Ashok Bhagat, DC Raja, Shakti Bhagat, Attri Sahib and many other delegates also resigned from the AAP.
