MLAs in his house on Thursday. It is notable that the results of Delhi MCD
elections have come on Wednesday. Among them, BJP has got a two-third majority

my resignation to the national convenor Arvind Kejriwal " He also said

Apart from this, ML Alka Lamba, from the Chandni Chowk in Delhi, had also
offered to resign, taking responsibility for the party's defeat in the region.

interesting thing is that Sanjay Singh has resigned almost a month after the
Punjab elections.

convener Dilip Pandey sent his resignation to the national convenor Arvind
Kejriwal. He has said that the responsibilities of this post should be handed over
to another person. Taking the moral responsibility of the party's defeat in the
elections, Pandey resigned from his post and tweeted it. He wrote, "I have
resigned from AAP as the Delhi Convenor and have given this information to the
party's national convenor Arvind Kejriwal and requested to hand over this
responsibility to someone else."
Pandey was
given a joint responsibility with the campaign for campaigning for the State
Convenor Municipal Corporation and its strategy, Ashish Talwar, in-charge of
Delhi. Pandey, fearing to rig the election result just two days before the
election results, said that the exit poll is being prepared by expressing the
possibility of BJP's victory in the exit polls.
