In a surprising turn of events, senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot has announced his departure from the party. With the Delhi assembly elections just months away, this move is seen as a significant blow to Arvind Kejriwal’s leadership. Gahlot, who played a pivotal role in modernizing Delhi’s transportation sector with electric buses and safety initiatives, cited ideological differences and dissatisfaction with recent developments within the party as reasons for his exit.
This resignation comes at a time when the AAP is already under pressure due to controversies surrounding the Delhi Liquor Policy case, which has ensnared several high-profile leaders, including Kejriwal himself. Critics have pointed out that internal discord and shifting voter sentiment could weaken AAP’s stronghold in the national capital.
Gahlot’s departure leaves a vacuum in AAP’s ranks, and analysts are speculating whether this move indicates deeper fractures within the party. As the elections approach, Kejriwal faces the daunting task of reuniting his cadre while addressing mounting challenges both legally and politically. Observers suggest that this resignation may embolden the opposition and complicate AAP’s electoral prospects.
