15 Councillors Quit AAP, Float New Political Party
Hindustan Times Chandigarh
|May 18, 2025
We were elected on AAP tickets in 2022 but despite coming to power in MCD, the leadership could not smoothly run the civic body. COUNCILLORS' LETTER
NEW DELHI: In a major setback for the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), 15 party councillors on Saturday resigned from the party's primary membership and announced the formation of a new political outfit — Indraprastha Vikas Party, citing "internal discontent" and stalled development works in the municipal corporation.
The blow comes weeks after the AAP lost control over the municipal corporation, and months after it lost the Assembly elections to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after being in power with brute majority between 2015 to February 2025.
The 15 councillors include senior leader Mukesh Goel, former leader of the MCD house who has served as a municipal councillor for 25 years. In the February state polls, Goel had contested on an AAP ticket from Adarsh Nagar but lost to the BJP.
