Mr Khaira was trying to weaken party and was openly revolting against the party -Manish Sisodia

New Delhi: Hours after former Leader of Opposition in the Punjab Legislative Assembly Sukhpal Singh Khaira resigned from the primary membership of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), senior leader and Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia came down heavily upon him and asked him to quit from the position of MLA as well. Sisodia added that the rebel leader’s exit will only strengthen the party.

“Mr Sukhpal Khaira’s resignation was expected. Party will be strengthened with his exit. He should now resign from MLA also, which he won on the party ticket. Mr Khaira started revolting against party since the post of LoP in Punjab was given to a Dalit leader,” Sisodia tweeted.

Adding that Khaira was trying to weaken the party, Sisodia said, “AAP will keep working for poor and marginalised people. Those who have problem in this can leave the party. Mr Khaira was trying to weaken party and was openly revolting against the party since then. He tried to break party. Which organization can tolerate such behaviour?”
