Days after Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader from Punjab H S Phoolka quit the party, rebel leader and former Leader of Opposition in the state legislative Assembly Sukhpal Singh Khaira on Sunday gave up his primary membership. He cited party convenor Arvind Kejriwal’s “dictatorial attitude” as the reason behind his decision. Rebel AAP leader in Punjab Sukhpal Khaira resigns from primary membership of AAP. AdvertisingLast month, he had announced the formation of the party with Lok Insaaf Party, Bahujan Samaj Party, suspended AAP MP Dr Dharamvir Gandhi and other ‘like-minded parties’ in the state. The rebel AAP leader had said that the alliance would aim to liberate Punjab from the “clutches of corrupt traditional parties and the corrupt feudal families of Badal, Capt Amarinder and others”.
