Newskarnataka-Mangalore

Mangalore: Robert Rosario, AAM AADMI Party Dakshina Kannada past convener has been expelled from AAP for his anti-party activities. He had resigned earlier as a co-convener but still he continued to project the impression that he was a spokesperson of the party, said an AAP press release.

It is learnt due to the culmination of a sequence of many events during which Rosario was taking unilateral decisions, not taking the committee into confidence, fighting with the preparatory committee members  made  the Executive Committee and Advisory Committee chaired by senior Advisory Committee member Dr Satish Rao, the committee members ended up asking him to be removed. “I was present during a meeting of the party wherein he tendered his resignation. As a disgruntled person, he is playing dirty now due to interpersonal differences” said J Shriyan.
Rosario on his turn declared that he was ready to step down.  Even after resigning from the post, Robert Rosario attended the subsequent committee meeting (s) but refused to sign the attendance register stating that he ceased to be a member of the executive committee and hence would not sign.

As Rosario was controlling the party email account, which he did not hand over even after stepping down – it prompted the executive committee to expel him from the committee for 3 months in its meeting dated 9th January.

In the meeting of executive committee dated December 30, Dharmendra as Convener and Rohan Shiri as Secretary were nominated to own responsibility assigned to them to represent the district and expand the organization.

A Special Note in the party’s membership form states,”If anyone is found indulging in activities against the objectives and against the party’s mode of functioning, his/her membership shall stand canceled.”  Rosario’s behavior today outside the Election Office to coincide with Vasudeva presenting his nomination papers, was not appreciated by all the other AAP members present. Thus AAP has expelled Robert from the party.
