“From ‘Aam’ to BJP: Former Delhi Minister Kailash Gahlot Joins Hands with Modi’s Vision”

Former Delhi minister Kailash Gahlot has shifted his political allegiance by joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), citing a loss of core values within his former party, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Gahlot, who resigned from AAP a day earlier, criticized the party for its constant clashes with the Centre, accusing it of prioritizing political ambitions over public welfare. At a formal induction held at the BJP headquarters, leaders including Union ministers Manohar Lal Khattar and Harsh Malhotra welcomed him into the fold. Gahlot dismissed allegations that his exit was prompted by pressure from investigating agencies like the ED and CBI, asserting that his move was ideologically motivated. He praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision, emphasizing that he joined BJP to contribute to Delhi’s development. Gahlot also highlighted AAP’s failure to maintain constructive relations with the Centre, stating that such discord hindered the city’s growth. Once drawn to AAP for its promise of clean politics, he lamented the party’s shift away from its “aam aadmi” ideals, claiming it now caters to special interests. Gahlot’s entry into the BJP is seen as a strategic boost ahead of the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections, with party leaders expressing confidence in his ability to enhance their prospects. The development marks a significant shift in Delhi’s political landscape, further intensifying the contest between BJP and AAP.
