Delhi Social Welfare Minister Raaj Kumar Anand resigned from his position and from the 'corrupt' Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on April 10, citing the party's involvement in corrupt practices as his reason for leaving. Anand, who had joined AAP inspired by its anti-corruption stance, expressed his inability to stay with a party now embroiled in corruption. This resignation comes in the wake of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's arrest in the liquor policy case, marking Anand as the first AAP minister to resign after Kejriwal's arrest. The Delhi High Court's rejection of Kejriwal's plea appears to have influenced Anand's decision, raising questions about Kejriwal's moral onus. Anand's departure has sparked a war of words between the BJP and AAP, with AAP accusing the BJP of trying to break the party. Despite his resignation, Anand stated he would not be joining any other party, contradicting AAP's Sanjay Singh's claim that Anand was joining the BJP, a party that had previously labeled him corrupt. Anand has been an associate of Kejriwal since the 'India Against Corruption' movement.
