Kailash Gahlot quits AAP, party calls it “dirty trick” by BJP

The Hindu  

In a setback to the Aam Aadmi Party ahead of the Delhi Assembly polls scheduled early next year, Delhi Cabinet Minister Kailash Gahlot on Sunday resigned from the party. In his letter to Mr. Kejriwal, Mr. Gahlot said that political ambitions had overtaken AAP’s commitment towards the people, leaving many promises unfulfilled. This makes one thing clear: the BJP has lost the Delhi elections.” In his resignation letter, Mr. Gahlot said that the AAP government which promised to transform the Yamuna into a clean river never got around with it. Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva said that Mr. Gahlot was forced to resign as he could not continue with the “corrupt practices” of the AAP. “The issues that Mr. Gahlot has raised in his resignation letter are all that the BJP has been raising in Delhi,” Mr. Sachdeva said.
