Former AAP Goa convenor resigns from party

December 04, 2020 15:25

Former convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party's Goa unit Elvis Gomes on Friday resigned from the party alleging that the local unit is being controlled by the Delhi lobby. Addressing a press conference, Gomes said he decided to quit the party after the Delhi unit started controlling the affairs of the party in Goa, which local leaders had nurtured over the last several years.

The former bureaucrat, who was the AAP's chief ministerial face during the 2017 state Assembly elections, said the party has deviated from its ideology in recent times. He further alleged that the party is not working in the interest of Goans, but instead decisions are taken by people sitting in Delhi. "We don't want to be controlled by the Delhi lobby," he said.
