After two of its leaders quit the party in Gujarat, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday accused the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of forcing its leaders to leave the party by misusing the state machinery.
The party leaders claimed that the ruling party feels threatened to the rise of AAP in Gujarat ahead of the Assembly polls to be held later this year.
On Monday, Surat-based businessman and a prominent Patidar community social worker Mahesh Savani, who had joined AAP a few months ago, suddenly announced his exit from politics on the ground of health and personal reasons.
