Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh Resigns as Punjab MLA

Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh has resigned as a member of the Punjab Legislative Assembly, stepping down as the MLA representing Amritsar North. He submitted his resignation to Punjab Assembly Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan.

The resignation comes amid recent developments within the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Punjab, with two other legislators having recently left the party’s primary membership. Singh had earlier been suspended from AAP for five years over allegations of anti-party activities.

Third AAP Legislator to Exit Amid Punjab Party Developments

Singh’s resignation follows the decisions of two other AAP legislators, Chetan Singh Jouramajra and Harmeet Singh Pathanmajra, who recently quit the party’s primary membership. Their departures came after AAP announced its first list of 40 candidates for the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections. :chatgpt-content-reference{index=”0″}

Why Was Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh Suspended From AAP?

Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh, a former Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, was suspended from AAP for five years in June 2025 over allegations of anti-party activities. He subsequently remained a vocal critic of the party leadership.

In recent remarks, Singh alleged that AAP had moved away from the principles on which it was founded. He also raised concerns about Punjab’s law and order situation, referring to issues including drugs, extortion, crime and gangsterism. These were his allegations against the party and state government. :chatgpt-content-reference{index=”2″}

What Did Kunwar Vijay Pratap Say After Resigning?

After submitting his resignation, Singh thanked the people of Amritsar for their support and said he would remain grateful for the affection and respect he had received from his constituency.

He said he had completed around 90 per cent of the work he believed an MLA was expected to undertake. He also highlighted issues he had raised in the Punjab Assembly, including water supply, sewage, local infrastructure, educational institutions and the Bargari sacrilege case.

Singh said his future objective would be to work towards clean politics and transparent administration. He described his central priority as “Punjab First” and said he had no personal interests beyond that goal. :chatgpt-content-reference{index=”3″}

Singh’s resignation adds to the recent political developments within AAP’s Punjab unit as the state moves towards the 2027 Assembly elections. The departures of three legislators within two days have brought renewed attention to internal differences and the party’s candidate-selection process.

Singh’s resignation has been submitted to Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan. The next step in the Assembly process will be the Speaker’s consideration of the resignation.
