Swati Maliwal, once a prominent face of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), explained her exit by accusing the party of abandoning its core values and indulging in “corruption and loot.” She said she distanced herself to avoid being part of alleged wrongdoing. Maliwal also recalled a 2024 incident where she accused Arvind Kejriwal’s aide of physically assaulting her at the Chief Minister’s residence. The controversy deepened her rift with the leadership. Her departure comes amid a larger rebellion, with multiple AAP MPs leaving the party and aligning with the BJP, signalling serious internal turmoil. (PC: NDTV)
