Alka Lamba might contest assembly polls as independent candidate

AAP's disgruntled MLA Alka Lamba has said she has made up her mind to quit the party and is mulling contesting the upcoming Delhi assembly elections as an independent candidate.

However, the Aam Aadmi Party called it a "publicity stunt".

AAP's Chandni Chowk MLA said she had been disrespected by the party on several occasion.

"I am not called to meetings. I am insulted repeatedly. I spent 20 years in the Congress and even there I struggled with family politics but in the AAP I do not get the basic respect," she claimed.

"I have made up my mind to quit the party and will make an official announcement on August 4 if I would contest independently or not," she told PTI.

"The day I spend the money allocated to me for the development work of my assembly, the next day I will quit the party," she said
