Chandigarh: Aam Aadmi Party’s political woes in Punjab don’t seem to stop as Master Baldev Singh, their MLA from Jaito (SC) constituency resigned from the party  on Wednesday citing "autocratic functioning", "double standards" and giving up the party's basic ideology and principles. Master Baldev singh is the second MLA after Sukhpal singh khaira who has resigned from the party last week. Master Baldev hit back at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal,  calling him “anti-Dalit”. "I am pained to forward my resignation from the primary membership of AAP because the party has completely given up its basic ideology and principles," he wrote in his resignation letter Earlier, citing the "dictatorial attitude" of AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal, MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira had on January 6 resigned from the party's primary membership. Lawyer-activist H.S. Phoolka had also recently quit from the AAP's primary membership. He had earlier resigned from the Punjab Assembly. He was the AAP legislator from the Dakha Assembly seat.
