AAP claims ED, CBI pressure

- AIMAN FATIMA

In a major development just months ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections, senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Transport minister Kailash Gahlot has resigned from the party, citing internal challenges and political disillusionment.

Gahlot, who held crucial portfolios including Home, Transport, IT, and Women and Child Development, has expressed his decision to part ways with the party, raising questions about the AAP's commitment to its original ideals and its ability to deliver on promises made to the people of Delhi.

Some officials suggest that Gahlot, a two-time MLA from the Najafgarh constituency, is likely to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the coming days. His departure marks a significant blow to the ruling party, as Gahlot was considered one of its most experienced and influential members. His resignation is especially impactful given his leadership in several high-profile government initiatives.

Continued from Page 1 'n his resignation letter addressed to AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal, Gahlot did not mince words, expressing his growing frustration with the party's internal dynamics.

He pointed out that political ambitions had taken precedence over the party's commitment to the people. "Political ambitions have overtaken our commitment towards people, leaving many promises unfulfilled. Take for example the Yamuna, which we had promised to transform into a clean river, but never got around to doing it. Now the Yamuna River is perhaps even more polluted than ever before," he said.
