AMRITSAR: Opening another front of rebellion in Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), 86 office-bearers of Amritsar zone resigned from the party's primary membership on Monday. They have quit citing "dictatorial behaviour" by party observers from outside Punjab.The party office-bearers have also hinted at joining hands with the emerging fourth front, Awaaz-e-Punjab, led by former cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu. "It was a difficult decision, but we decided to resign en masse from the primary membership of AAP," the party's Amritsar zone incharge Gurinder Singh Bajwa told TOI on Monday. He claimed that 80% members of AAP's Amritsar zone had resigned. Bajwa said AAP's leaders, who were opposing Chhotepur, never thought for once that there were thousands of party workers who were attached with them from the time of Anna Hazare's movement of 2011.
