Former Delhi minister Rajendra Pal Gautam resigned from AAP on Friday, saying he wanted to intensify the struggle for social justice.
The Seemapuri MLA may join the Congress, sources said.
Mr Gautam said in a post in Hindi on X, "I am resigning from the membership and all posts of AAP in order to accelerate the struggle for social justice and participation of the Bahujan Samaj in all sectors."
Mr Gautam resigned as social welfare minister in October 2022 after he kicked off a political storm over his alleged remarks against Hindu gods and goddesses.
Elections to the 70-member Delhi Assembly are due early next year.
