Aam Aadmi Party today announced withdrawal of Prithvi Amonkar as its candidate from Siolim constituency in Goa for upcoming Assembly elections.

"It was amicable to decide that Amonkar would not be contesting the election on AAP ticket from Siolim seat," AAP campaign committee chairperson Rajashreee Nagarcekar told PTI.
