The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has called for the resignation of Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal following her controversial remarks about senior party leader Atishi, who has been nominated as the next Chief Minister of Delhi. AAP leader Dilip Pandey accused Ms. Maliwal of following the BJP’s narrative despite being appointed to the Rajya Sabha by the AAP.
“Swati Maliwal accepts a Rajya Sabha ticket from the AAP but chooses to react using a BJP script. If she has any sense of dignity, she should step down as a Rajya Sabha MP and pursue the seat through a BJP ticket,” stated Mr. Pandey.
Growing Rift Between Maliwal and AAP
This demand for Ms. Maliwal’s resignation comes amid a deepening rift between her and the party. The conflict escalated after Ms. Maliwal accused Bibhav Kumar, a close aide of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, of assaulting her at the Chief Minister’s residence. These allegations have further strained her relationship with the AAP leadership.
Swati Maliwal’s Criticism of Atishi’s Appointment
Earlier today, the AAP announced that Atishi would succeed Arvind Kejriwal as Delhi’s Chief Minister, with Mr. Kejriwal planning to step down later in the evening. The decision drew sharp criticism from Ms. Maliwal, who called it a “sad day for Delhi.” She alleged that Atishi’s parents had attempted to save convicted terrorist Afzal Guru from execution, a claim that has added fuel to the ongoing controversy.
