History

Historical Context

Born from the 2011 Anna Hazare anti-corruption protests, the Aam Aadmi Party launched on 26 November 2012 and adopted a strict internal-discipline charter, formalized in a 2015 policy that suspends members who contradict official statements. After winning 67 of 70 Delhi seats in 2015, the party continued enforcing the rule, suspending MLA Sukhveer Singh Maiserkhana on 3 October 2026, warning rivals such as BJP’s Ravneet Singh Bittu.
