“This party doesn’t respect Dalit MLAs, councillors and ministers. In such circumstances, all Dalits fell cheated. We live in an inclusive society, but it is not wrong to talk about proportion. It is difficult for me to remain in the party with all these things, hence I want to tell that I am resigning from the post,” said Anand, while speaking to the media, announcing his resignation from the party.

Delhi Minister Raaj Kumar Anand has resigned from both his post and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) over what he called was the party’s downfall from an anti-corruption group to a party “that’s involved in corruption”, a clear reference to the Delhi liquor policy case and the arrest of key leaders including AAP chief and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his former deputy Manish Sisodia.

“I joined AAP after seeing its strong message on fighting corruption. Today, the party has found itself in the middle of corrupt practices. That’s why I have decided to quit,” said Mr Anand, who was the social welfare, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes minister.
