AAP removes Alka Lamba as party spokesperson

New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has removed its Chandni Chowk MLA, Alka Lamba, from the post of party spokesperson for deviating from the official line while commenting on the resignation of former Delhi transport minister, Gopal Rai.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday after Rai and AAP legislators met the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) chief in connection with the complaint against app-based premium bus service, Lamba said the Delhi chief minister told Rai to step down to make way for a fair probe.

Well placed sources said these statements did not go down well with the party leadership which asked her to step aside from the post.
