Mankotia was recently expelled from AAP on charges of anti-party activities. He had quit the Panthers Party a few months back and joined AAP. However, he was feeling sidelined as Harshdev Singh occupied the centre-stage in the party circles.

Mankotia had won the assembly election from Udhampur in 2002, the first time as a candidate of Panthers Party.
