Sitting AAP MLA from Badarpur ND Sharma on Tuesday said that he has resigned from the party and accused party leaders Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia of taking ₹20 crore for giving the election ticket to a “land mafia”.
The AAP is fielding former Congress leader Ram Singh Netaji, who joined the party on Monday, from Badarpur in Assembly elections. Sharma further said he would contest the upcoming polls but did not disclose if he would join another party or fight independently.
The comment from the MLA came a day after Congress leaders Ram Singh Netaji — a two-time former Badarpur MLA — joined the Aam Aadmi Party, just weeks ahead of the February 8 Assembly elections. With the entry of Netaji, the speculation of him getting a ticket was also started.
“You are using people to win the election. You (Kejriwal) didn’t raise the level of politics, you have dropped it further,” he said. Sharma added that he has resigned from the party and most likely will contest as an independent.
The AAP did not make any comment on the issue.
