Dropped from govt, AAP MLA quits politics

CHANDIGARH: AAP MLA Anmol Gagan Maan , dropped from the Punjab cabinet a year ago, resigned from the assembly on Saturday and announced her exit from politics. Maan, who represented Kharar, made the announcement on X. "My heart is heavy but I have decided to leave politics. My resignation as MLA should be accepted by the Speaker. My best wishes are with the party. I hope Punjab govt will live up to people's expectations," she wrote in Punjabi.
