AAP rejects Anmol Gagan Maan’s resignation as Kharar MLA a day after she quit politics
A day after announcing her exit from politics, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Anmol Gagan Maan’s resignation as Kharar MLA has been rejected by the party.
The decision was conveyed to her by AAP Punjab president Aman Arora on Sunday.
Today, I met @AnmolGaganMann in a family atmosphere. The party decided to reject her resignation as an MLA, which she accepted. We asked her to continue working together for the progress of the party and the constituency. Anmol was, is and will remain a part of the family of @ArvindKejriwal ji and @AamAadmiParty,” Arora said in a post on X in Punjabi.
The former minister had reportedly submitted her resignation a few days ago. On Saturday, she announced her decision to quit politics and mentioned her resignation in a post on her social media handle.
In a post on X, Anmol wrote, “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 am hopeful that the Punjab Government will live up to the expectations of the people.”
The 36-year-old singer-turned-politician was inducted into the Bhagwant Mann Cabinet in July 2022 as the Tourism and Investment Promotion Minister. She was asked to step down from the cabinet in September last year.
Anmol hails from Mansa district and began her political journey in 2020 after joining the Aam Aadmi Party.
