MUMBAI: Claiming to be dissatisfied with AAP ’s functioning in the state, over 500 volunteers from the party ’s Maharashtra unit resigned on Saturday.They accused AAP executive member Mayank Gandhi of dictatorship, and said ineffectiveness leadership in Maharashtra and placid behavior of the national leadership towards volunteers’ suggestions were some of the reasons that led to their quitting. But Gandhi said every party has such members who are dissatisfied.After the members took off their heads the trademark Gandhi cap at a press conference, Muhammad Luqman Nadwi called himself an ex-AAP member. He said the party was constituted on the basis of Swaraj, but it was not applied to manage the party affairs. “Jan Lokpal, the issue on which the party reached out to people, seems to have become an alien concept,” said Nadwi. Gandhi, who heads the party’s unit in Maharashtra, said, “Their claims have no basis. Most of those who are resigning are new and none is crucial We working in Maharashtra and the recent anti-corruption helpline has been a hit.”
