Madan said she did not have adequate support from the BJP and was unable to deliver on promises made to her constituents due to lack of funds. “I informed the BJP a few days ago that I would be joining the AAP today. Why have they waited until now to kick me out? When I told them I was joining the AAP, they asked me to stay. If I was corrupt, why did they ask me to stay? I just want to work for the people who elected me, ”she said. She also said that Sanjay Thakur is expected to join the AAP. He could not be contacted.
