Artist Rajdeep Naik has resigned from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), expressing dissatisfaction over the party’s decision to field a candidate in the Ponda by-election.
Naik claimed that the move led to a split in opposition votes, ultimately weakening the collective challenge against rival parties. He stated that the decision left him disillusioned, prompting his exit from the party.
The development comes amid ongoing political activity surrounding the Ponda by-poll, with parties strategising to consolidate support.
AAP has not yet issued an official response to Naik’s resignation.
