The newly-formed front will be led by Hemchand Goel, with prominent former AAP leaders such as Mukesh Goel, Himani Jain, Devindra Kumar, Rajesh Kumar Ladi, Suman Anil Rana, Dinesh Bhardwaj, Runakshi Sharma, Manisha, Sahib Kumar, Rakhi Yadav, Usha Sharma, and Ashok Pandey playing key roles in the rebellion.
“We will sit in opposition. We have formed a new party (Indraprastha Vikas Party). We will raise the voice of people and work for development of our area… We won’t have any alliance with BJP. We have formed our party. We would want other party leaders to join us,” AAP councillor Mukesh Goel speaks on his resignation from party.
“In the last 2.5 years, no work was done in the corporation which should have been done. We were in power, yet we did nothing… We have formed a new party because our ideology is to work for the development of Delhi… We will support the party which will work for the development of Delhi. So far, 15 councillors have resigned. More may join…,” said party councillor Himani Jain.
“We came here to work for development of our ward. The work is not happening. We were in Aam Admi Party for 2.5 years, our main issue was that our colony was unauthorised. So, people were facing issues of garbage and drainage… We didn’t get funds from party to work. We tried to talk to AAP’s senior leadership but there was no action,” said Ashok Pandey, Ward 109, Vikas Nagar corporator who resigned from Aam Admi Party and joined ‘Indraprastha Vikas Party’.
