Delhi Minister Raaj Kumar Anand resigned from his cabinet position and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), citing the party's involvement in corruption as his reason. This development comes in the wake of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's arrest related to the liquor policy case. Anand, who has been associated with Kejriwal since the India Against Corruption movement, stated that he had not resigned due to fear of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) but because of the corruption within AAP. He emphasized that the ED raid at his residence was aimed at uncovering the money trail of the liquor scam, but clarified that the agency found no evidence against him. Anand also highlighted the lack of Dalit representation in the party, noting that none of the 13 AAP members sent to the Rajya Sabha were Dalit. His resignation has sparked a war of words between the BJP and AAP, with AAP accusing the BJP of attempting to break the party, while the BJP points to the resignation as evidence of AAP's corrupt practices.
