Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Anmol Gagan Maan resigned as Kharar MLA on Saturday, saying that she had decided to quit politics altogether. She submitted her resignation to Punjab Assembly Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan, urging him to accept it at the earliest.
The singer-turned-politician was elected from Kharar in the 2022 Assembly polls. She was also a minister and held the portfolios of tourism and culture, investment promotion, labour and hospitality. However, last year, the Bhagwant Mann government dropped four ministers, including Maan, from the Cabinet.
The AAP leader said in her brief statement that she is stepping away from political life. She, however, did not disclose the reasons behind her decision. “With a heavy heart, I have decided to quit politics. My resignation from the post of MLA, submitted to the Speaker, may be accepted. My best wishes are with the party. I hope the Punjab government will live up to the expectations of the people,” she said in a post on X.
