She said she worked hard for the party but was replaced without any explanation.

"I haven't made any decisions yet. I need some time to clear my mind. But I will follow whatever path the public suggests," she said.

Dhillon was elected as an MLA from the Hari Nagar constituency in the 2020 Delhi Assembly elections, defeating BJP's Tajinder Bagga as her closest rival.

The Aam Aadmi Party also replaced Dinesh Bhardwaj on Narela seat with outgoing MLA Sharad Chauhan.

AAP sources earlier claimed that the changes were made based on the ground reports from the campaigning and prospects of the candidates.
