Before the assembly elections, a rebel leader of the Aam Aadmi Party has apologized and vowed to stay with the party for life. Vijay Kumar, who was suspended for staking claim to the post of deputy mayor in the MCD, has apologized and said that he will never go against the leadership now.
Councillor Vijay Kumar from ward 192 of Trilokpuri has apologized to the party’s national convenor Arvind Kejriwal and other leaders and has vowed that he will never repeat the mistake again and will remain with the Aam Aadmi Party for life. Vijay Kumar has released a video taking oath in the name of Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar.
Vijay Kumar wrote on his X handle, ‘I was, am and will remain a member of Aam Aadmi Party. I apologize to the top leadership Arvind Kejriwal ji, Manish Sisodia ji, Durgesh Pathak and Atishi ji for my mistakes. I also apologize to my elder brother Kuldeep Kumar ji. We are all soldiers of Aam Aadmi Party. We all stand shoulder to shoulder with Delhi’s popular Chief Minister Kejriwal in the calamity that has befallen him.’
Vijay Kumar has also posted a video in which he is saying, ‘I swear in the name of Baba Saheb that whatever mistake I have committed, I apologize to the top leadership. I will never make a mistake in the future. I will remain in Aam Aadmi Party for life. I assure the top leadership that I will never go against them.’
On June 15, Aam Aadmi Party suspended Vijay Kumar, saying that he was involved in anti-party activities. He was constantly involved in making statements against the party. He was echoing the sentiments of another rebel leader Nitin Tyagi. He had sounded the bugle of rebellion in the party in April this year itself. Vijay Kumar had rebelled during the proposed elections in MCD and staked claim to the post of deputy mayor. Many efforts were made to persuade Vijay Kumar. But he refused to listen to the party and said that no pressure should be put on him, he will contest the elections.
