MUMBAI: Two of the most prominent faces of the

Aam Aadmi Party

in Maharashtra, state convener

Anjali Damania

and state secretary

Preeti Sharma Menon

have resigned from their posts citing “the need to give attention to our personal lives.” Both, however, say they will continue to support the party.

“The last three years have been an amazing journey where many ‘aam’ folk discovered the country as well as our own selves through the India Against Corruption movement and then through AAP . However, every adventure ends and our adventure too ends here. Anjali and I have been battling between our family life, our careers and our party responsibilities. Both of us could not cope up with the multi-tasking that we had to do,” says Menon in a statement to the press.Damania, too, told TOI that both their family lives and careers had taken a back-seat due to their responsibilities at AAP. “We were set to leave earlier too, but chose to stay back in order to carry out a proper handover,” she adds. She spoke of Mission Vistar, a nationwide expansion campaign undertaken by AAP.“We had decided that we would not give up abruptly and would wait till the Mission Vistaar team came to Maharashtra. Now that Prithvi Reddy and Atishi (Marlena) have taken up the State, it was a huge relief for us,” says Menon’s statement.
