Kailash Gahlot Resigned:Reason Why Kailash Gahlot Parted Ways with AAP: Read Full Details

In a significant political shift, Delhi’s Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot has resigned from both the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Council of Ministers. Gahlot, a senior leader in the Delhi government, cited unfulfilled election promises, controversies, and erosion of core values as his reasons for stepping down. In a letter addressed to AAP’s National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal and Chief Minister Atishi, Gahlot expressed deep dissatisfaction with the party’s direction.

The other major grievance against AAP is that it did not deliver a few of its election promises that included cleaning the Yamuna River. He said this was a breach of trust with the people of Delhi as an unfulfilled promise. Gahlot, in fact also attacked Kejriwal over his new official bungalow which he said was an embarrassment against AAP's core principles of being a party of common man.

For him, the other major hurdle in the development of the city is the power struggle that never seems to end between the Delhi government and the central government. He says constant conflict with the Centre has strangled governance and growth in Delhi. He ended his resignation letter with the conclusion that he had no choice but to leave AAP. His move today does come as a huge blow to the Kejriwal-led administration in light of the Delhi polls scheduled in February.

Chief Minister Atishi accepted Gahlot's resignation amid allegations from AAP sources that he was targeted by the BJP through investigations by the CBI and ED. Gahlot had been under the scanner in a series of corruption cases, for which the ED and Income Tax Department had also raided some of his properties. Gahlot's exit speaks of swelling issues for AAP as it gears up for the elections soon ahead, raising questions about internal rifts and its ability to uphold its promises made to Delhiites.
