'My Heart Is Heavy, But...': AAP's Anmol Gagan Maan Resigns As Kharar MLA
Mann contested the 2022 Punjab assembly elections and was elected from Kharar. She was a well-known Punjabi singer before entering politics.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Anmol Gagan Maan on Sunday resigned as a member of the Punjab Assembly from the Kharar seat. The singer-turned-politician announced her decision to quit politics altogether and has submitted her resignation to the Punjab Assembly Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan.
“My heart is heavy, but I have decided to leave politics. My resignation from the post of MLA to the Speaker should be accepted,” Maan wrote in Punjabi on X (formerly Twitter).
“My best wishes are with the party. I hope the Punjab government will live up to the expectations of the people,” she added.
Before entering politics, Maan was a well-known Punjabi singer. Some of her famous songs include Suit, Ghaint Purpose, and Sherni.
She contested the 2022 Punjab assembly elections and was elected from Kharar. She briefly served as a minister in the Bhagwant Mann-led Punjab cabinet before being dropped in a cabinet reshuffle last year.
Mann held key portfolios including tourism and culture, investment promotion, labour and hospitality in the state.
