"There is a lack of inner party democracy in AAP,"Ilmi said addressing a press conference here.
She accused that party chief Arvind Kejriwal of ignoring other leaders and being surrounded by 'crony clique'.
"Arvind has shot the messenger, I was consistently sidelined in the party," Ilmi said.
"I'm not for jail bharo politics.There's a need to reinvent AAP,go beyond agitation," she said.
Another party member, Captain G R Gopinath, founder of Air Deccan, also announced his resignation from the party today.
Gopinath quit AAP citing growing differences within the party leadership and criticized Kejriwal for "shoot and scoot" politics.
In a communication to AAP's Karnataka convenor Prithvi Reddy, Gopinath said, "I would like to resign from the membership of the Aam Admi Party with immediate effect because of increasing differences with the party leadership and its ways."
Gopinath, who joined AAP in January this year, said he had "expressed most of my views also in the media including today" and wished "the party well in its future endeavours".
Ilmi was one of the founder members of the Anna movement and a popular TV presence but sources said that she felt sidelined when the party asked her to fight the Lok Sabha poll from Rae Bareilly instead of Delhi. Ilmi declined and was later given a ticket from Ghaziabad. She however lost badly to BJP candidate V K Singh.
The resignations of Ilmi and Gopinath could not have come at a worse time for the party with its main leader Arvind Kejriwal in prison for the next 2 weeks.
