Why Bhagwant Mann resigned?

March 16, 2018 - PatialaPolitics


Upset over Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal’s apology to Akali Dal’s Bikram Singh Majithia for calling him “Punjab’s drug lord”, the party’s Bhagwant Mann has quit as AAP’s Punjab chief this morning.

“I’m resigning as a president of AAP Punjab …but my fight against drug mafia and all kind of corruption in Punjab will continue as an “Aam Aadmi” of Punjab,” Mr Mann tweeted this morning.

Mr Mann, who was appointed AAP Punjab chief in May 2017, represents the Sangrur parliamentary constituency in the Lok Sabha.
