In a major political development in Gujarat, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Umesh Makwana has resigned from all party posts and has been suspended by the party leadership. The announcement was made on Thursday (June 26, 2025), amid growing internal discord within the Gujarat unit of AAP.

Makwana, however, has not yet resigned as an MLA, stating that he will first consult with the people of his constituency before making that decision.

Public Will to Decide MLA Position

Speaking to reporters, Umesh Makwana said:

“I do not want the people who voted for me to suffer. I will take a decision on resigning as MLA only after seeking their opinion and blessings.”

He did not clarify the exact reason for his resignation from party roles but hinted at internal party differences and dissatisfaction with leadership decisions.

AAP Issues Suspension, Maintains Silence on Reasons

The Aam Aadmi Party has issued an internal suspension order, confirming that Makwana will no longer hold any party responsibility. However, senior AAP officials have so far avoided public comment on the details leading to the fallout.

Sources within the Gujarat unit suggest growing differences between Makwana and the state leadership, possibly relating to candidate selections, strategy decisions, or resource allocation.

Constituents React with Concern and Support

Makwana’s announcement triggered a mixed response in his constituency. While some local leaders have expressed support for his decision to consult voters, others have voiced concerns over political instability and its potential impact on ongoing development work.

Makwana, considered an influential leader in his region, has played a key role in building AAP’s rural network in Gujarat since the party’s Assembly breakthrough in 2022.

Conclusion: Political Uncertainty for AAP in Gujarat

This development adds to the challenges facing AAP’s Gujarat unit, as it prepares for upcoming civic polls and seeks to consolidate its presence in the state. Makwana’s possible resignation as MLA could trigger a by-election and dent the party’s organizational morale.

All eyes are now on Makwana’s next move, and whether his consultation with the public leads to a complete exit from the legislative assembly.
