Claiming AAP failed to provide adequate representation to members from backward communities, Gujarat MLA Umesh Makwana resigned from all party posts Thursday. Makwana was AAP’s whip in assembly and national joint secretary. Shortly after, AAP state president Isudan Gadhvi announced that Makwana has been suspended from AAP for five years for “anti-party activities”. Makwana was elected MLA from Botad in 2022. He said he will consult supporters before making a decision on resigning as MLA. TNN
