Aam Admi Party leader Shazia Ilmi May Resign From Party Sources said
Shazia Ilmi, one of the most prominent face and founder members of Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party, is believed to be considering resigning from the party, allegedly because she is unhappy with the party leadership.
Sources in the party said Ilmi was upset with the AAP's decision to not nominate her from Delhi in the general elections. A journalist who has been with the party since its inception, she reportedly wanted to contest from one of the seven seats in Delhi.
Ilmi said she will hold a press conference on Saturday to announce her decision.
AAP leader Ashutosh, meanwhile, dubbed the news as ' baseless'. Ilmi was also said to be upset with AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal for not campaigning on her behalf in Ghaziabad in a big way, they said. Ilmi faced a crushing defeat at the hands of former Army chief V. K. Singh in Ghaziabad.
The AAP leader had managed a lowly fifth place with just 89,147 votes. The voices of dissent are growing in the AAP, with even volunteers demanding resignation of the top brass. At a meeting on Friday, a group of volunteers raised posters asking for resignation of some leaders.
