Dilip Pandey Demands Maliwal Step Down and Join BJP After Criticizing Atishi’s Appointment
Aam Aadmi Party chief whip Dilip Pandey has urged Swati Maliwal to resign from her Rajya Sabha position and consider running for a BJP ticket. This call comes after Maliwal’s comments regarding Atishi’s parents, which Pandey labeled as divisive. Maliwal criticized Atishi’s appointment as Delhi Chief Minister successor by linking her parents to Afzal Guru’s mercy petitions. The AAP has condemned Maliwal’s remarks and views them as part of a broader BJP conspiracy, marking this as a significant internal conflict within the party.
