This can be seen as a major setback to the Arvind Kejriwal-led outfit in the national capital, just months after the assembly poll drubbing.
The rebel leaders include Mukesh Goel, the leader of the house for AAP in the MCD, Himani Jain, and others. The councillors, under the leadership of Goel, announced a new party called Indraprastha Vikas Party. In the Delhi Assembly elections held in February this year, Goel contested on an AAP ticket from Adarsh Nagar but lost.
"About 15 councillors have resigned from the primary membership of Aam Aadmi Party and formed a new party, Indraprastha Vikas Party. Despite being in power, we could not work for the service of the people of Delhi. We could not work due to internal conflicts," Goel told the media.
