In a major blow to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Rajkumar Anand, who was Arvind Kejriwal Cabinet's social welfare minister, has resigned from his post on Wednesday. He is an MLA from the Patel Nagar Vidhan Sabha constituency. He also resigned from the primary membership of Aam Aadmi Party.
Soon after announcing his resignation, Anand said, "AAP is neck-deep in corruption. And I can't talk work with corrupt people." The development comes hours after Arvind Kejriwal in his latest message from the jail had asked his party leaders to ensure that the public does not face any problem and observe 'Tanashahi Hatao, Samvidhan Bachao' Diwas on the birth anniversary of BR Ambedkar.
