The Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab has accepted the resignations of MLAs Kunwar Vijay Pratap and the representative from Pathankot, resulting in two vacant assembly seats.
A significant political development has unfolded in Punjab as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has formally accepted the resignations of two of its Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs). The party leadership approved the resignations on Monday, effectively vacating their respective legislative seats.
The two MLAs, identified as Kunwar Vijay Pratap and the representative from the Pathankot constituency, had previously submitted their resignations from the party. According to reports, the decision to step back was driven by the non-allocation of election tickets for the upcoming polls.
With the acceptance of these resignations, the two assembly seats are now officially vacant. This move is expected to trigger the process for by-elections or the appointment of new representatives, depending on the timeline and political strategy adopted by the party and the state government.
This development marks a notable shift in the political landscape of Punjab, as the party restructures its legislative presence ahead of future electoral engagements.
