In a setback for Aam Aadmi Party, 15 Councillors in Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) have resigned from the party’s membership and announced the formation of a new party.

The councillors led by Himani Jain and Mukesh Goel, flagged internal conflicts behind their resignation. They formed a new political party named Indraprastha Vikas Party.

Himani Jain and Mukesh Goel stated that no significant work had been completed in the municipal corporation over the past two-and-a-half years due to internal conflicts.

They said, a new party has been formed because they want to work for the development of Delhi and will support any party which will work for the development of the national capital.
