Delhi Minister Kailash Gahlot Resigns from AAP: What Lies Ahead for Delhi’s Politics?
New Delhi: In a surprising turn of events, Delhi government minister and senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Kailash Gahlot has resigned from the party. The news has sent shockwaves through political circles in the capital.
Kailash Gahlot, who has been a key member of the AAP and served in vital roles such as Delhi’s Transport and Environment Minister, submitted his resignation to AAP National Convener Arvind Kejriwal.
In his resignation letter, Gahlot expressed his disillusionment with the party, stating, “Controversies like ‘Sheesh Mahal’ have left many questioning whether we still believe in the ideals of being common men. It is now clear that if the Delhi government spends most of its time fighting with the Centre, real progress for Delhi cannot happen. I have no choice but to part ways with AAP, and hence, I am resigning from its primary membership.”
Impact on AAP and Delhi Politics
Gahlot’s resignation raises significant questions about AAP’s internal dynamics and its governance model. Known for his administrative acumen, Gahlot’s departure is seen as a major setback for the party. Analysts believe it could lead to internal discord and create new challenges for the Kejriwal government.
BJP’s Reaction
Reacting to the development, Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva said, “Kailash Gahlot has held up a mirror to Arvind Kejriwal, calling out his and his group’s alleged ‘loot.’ This is a bold step, and we commend Gahlot for breaking away from Kejriwal’s misgovernance.”
As the AAP navigates this unexpected crisis, all eyes will now be on Kailash Gahlot’s next political move and its impact on the upcoming electoral battles in Delhi.
