Senior AAP leader Ashutosh resigns from party citing 'personal reasons'


New Delhi, Aug 15 (DC): Senior leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Ashutosh resigned from the party on Wednesday citing “personal reasons”.

Ashutosh took to Twitter to announce his resignation and said: “Every journey has an end. My association with AAP which was beautiful/revolutionary has also an end. I have resigned from the PARTY/requested PAC to accept the same. It is purely from a very very personal reason. Thanks to party/all of them who supported me Throughout. Thanks.”

The 53-year-old had left journalism and joined the Aam Aadmi Party in 2014.

He contested the 2014 Lok Sabha elections from Chandni Chowk against Kapil Sibal of Congress and Harsh Vardhan of the BJP. Though, he garnered more votes than Kapil Sibal of the Congress, he lost out to Dr Harsh Vardhan of the BJP.

    He is another opportunist who came to AAP. When he did not get opportunity he wanted, he resigned.

    Politicians can be believed but not the Mediamen or the Journalists. He was a Journalist, but how he can be a Journalist if he has Politics in his mind.
    Remember journalists & top level media men enjoying lavish life than the politicians. Whichever party comes to power these journalistse get all the facilities, perks for free including bunglows, sites etc....

    AAP ka Thamasha!

    AAP left with almost one BAAP now who ousted all his contemporaries for one or other reason . It wont surprise much now if he soon himself comes out of AAP holding center responsible for that too.

    Refrain from vomiting venom and spreading lies like your master Vomit Shah and Feku. Prove it, Aravind Krejiwal spent 1.5lakhs for 4 hours stay in Luxury Hotel in Bangalore. If not, take his KUJLI and have it on yourself.
