Cracks appear in AAP after call to not contest UP by-polls

Lucknow: After the recent Lok Sabha elections, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has announced that it will not contest the upcoming Assembly by-elections in Uttar Pradesh, leading to growing disillusionment among party workers.

The party's repeated decisions to withdraw from elections are causing frustration, with even some party officials distancing themselves. The prolonged delay in appointing a state president has exacerbated the situation, further impacting the party's activities in the state.

For the past several months, the AAP has been largely inactive in UP. During the last Lok Sabha elections, the party lent its support to the Indy Alliance, which reduced the frequency of its leadership meetings.
