Jammu, August 23: In a significant development, Subhash Chander Sharma, a prominent face of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Jammu & Kashmir, has tendered his resignation from the post of Provincial Vice President as well as the primary membership of the party.
In his resignation letter addressed to AAP’s National Convenor, Arvind Kejriwal, Sharma cited the party’s “wrong policies and non-J&K centric approach” as the primary reasons for his departure.
Excerpt from the resignation letter:
“Due to the wrong policies and Non-J&K Centric Approach of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), I can no longer continue in AAP and therefore I am resigning from the post of Provincial Vice President as well as from the primary membership of the party.”
Sharma has been instrumental in expanding AAP’s footprint in the Jammu region, actively engaging with grassroots workers and contributing to various party initiatives aimed at addressing local issues. His resignation is seen as a setback for the party’s ambitions in Jammu & Kashmir, where it has been striving to establish a stronger presence.
As of now, there has been no official response from the Aam Aadmi Party regarding Sharma’s resignation. Political analysts suggest that this move could prompt introspection within the party’s leadership about their strategies and policies concerning the Jammu & Kashmir region.
Local political circles are abuzz with speculation about Sharma’s next move, with some suggesting he may join another political outfit or continue his public service independently.
Background: Subhash Chander Sharma has been associated with AAP for several years and has been recognized for his dedication towards addressing regional issues such as development, unemployment, and social welfare in Jammu & Kashmir. His leadership has garnered support from various sections of society, making him a respected figure in the local political landscape.
Implications: This resignation brings to light internal dissent within AAP’s regional units and raises questions about the party’s approach towards addressing state-specific concerns. It remains to be seen how the party will address these challenges and restructure its strategy in Jammu & Kashmir moving forward.
