Aam Aadmi Party MLA Ved Prakash Satish resigned from the party to join the BJP on 27 March. Satish alleged that the Arvind Kejriwal-led party had "failed" to deliver on the promises it had made in the run up to the 2015 Assembly elections.

I was feeling suffocated in the AAP. They (AAP) have failed to deliver on the promises which they had made during assembly elections. 

The Bawana MLA said he would also resign from the Assembly and other government-run bodies. "I am going to give my resignation letter to the Assembly Speaker," he said.

The move is seen as a shot in the arm for the BJP ahead of the civic polls in the national capital next month.

Ved Prakash joined the BJP at its Delhi unit office in the presence of Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari.

The AAP government has not done any work in the Bawana constituency in the last two years, he alleged, adding that the government had failed to address the grievances of the people.

There are around 35 MLAs in the AAP who are not happy with the party leadership... The AAP has already a list of rebel MLAs which includes Devinder Sehrawat, Pankaj Pushkar and former minister Sandeep Kumar
