Meanwhile, Kothiya said that AAP was levelling false allegations against her and that she was a committed party worker. "I was falsely accused of circulating an audio clip. AAP leadership did nothing when I complained to them about harassment by another AAP corporator. Instead of justice, I received insults in the party," Kothiya said.
Prior to these two, former sarpanch Mahipatsinh Chauhan had also joined AAP in June last year and he left the party about two months back. AAP Ahmedabad city vice president Nilamben Vyas, too, quit AAP and joined the BJP.
