Overview
- Sagar Rabari, who resigned Monday, quit AAP’s primary membership and all posts and announced the move in a Facebook post.
- He said he wants to push five farm measures that include a state agriculture policy, a larger budget share, public and cooperative investment in rural infrastructure, a one-time loan waiver, and training for farmers’ children.
- He ruled out joining the BJP and said he opposes the party on ideological grounds.
- AAP had not issued an official response at the time of reporting, and Rabari said he told colleagues on an internal WhatsApp group before going public.
- The timing comes a day after local-body voting and before results, and it follows other exits, including Raju Karpada joining the BJP and seven AAP members of the Rajya Sabha, India’s upper house, shifting to the BJP.
