Delhi social welfare minister Raaj Kumar Anand on Wednesday resigned from his post and from the Aam Aadmi Party citing the charges of corruption against the party, reported ANI.
“Aam Aadmi Party was born to fight corruption but today the party is stuck in a swamp of corruption,” he told reporters. “It has become difficult for me to work on the minister’s post. I resigned from the post of minister and from the party as I can’t connect my name with this corruption.”

“I came to politics and then became a minister because of Babasaheb Ambedkar,” Anand told reporters. “I wanted to pay back to the society. I do not want to be in a party that takes a backseat as far as Dalit representation is concerned.”
