Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Christina Samy on Wednesday tendered her resignation from the party's National Executive.

Samy, who was the only woman left in the party's National Executive, had on March 4 voted against the ousting of Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan from the party.

Earlier, AAP removed Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan from the National Executive, and prevented Admiral (retired) L. Ramdas from performing his role as the party's internal Lokpal.

Out of the 311 national executive members present in yesterday's national council meeting, an overwhelming 247 members voted against Bhushan and Yadav while just 8 votes were cast in their favour.

 

The party also removed Anand Kumar and Ajit Jha from the national executive.

The party's internal rift had widened after Yadav and Bhushan were accused of working for party's defeat during the Delhi Assembly polls last month.
