All these MLAs have not been given a party ticket to contest the 2025 Delhi Assembly polls.
Notably, Naresh Yadav was earlier the Mehrauli candidate but AAP in its fifth list of candidates for the Delhi election, announced Mahender Chaudhary as its Mehrauli candidate. Yadavwas convicted by a Punjab court in a Quran desecration case in December and sentenced to two-year jail.
Yadav in his resignation letter said the AAP abandoned its founding principle of "honest politics."
He further alleged that the party, instead of fulfilling its pledge to reduce corruption, had "become entangled in the swamp of corruption itself".
The Aam Aadmi Party is yet to issue an official statement regarding the resignations.
