Kailash Gahlot Resignation Live Updates: Kailash Gahlot had pressure from ED , says AAP
Delhi Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Kailash Gahlot resigned from the party on Sunday. A prominent figure within the AAP, Gahlot has held key portfolios in the Delhi government, including Transport, Law, and Revenue.
In a letter addressed to the party's national convenor, Arvind Kejriwal, Gahlot announced his resignation, citing internal challenges and unfulfilled promises. He expressed dissatisfaction with the party's inability to deliver on critical commitments, such as cleaning the Yamuna River.

Kailash Gahlot Resignation Live: Every party has both good and bad people, says former BJP MLA Anil Jha after joining AAP
After joining AAP, former BJP MLA Anil Jha says, "Every party has both good and bad people. But nobody makes decisions just like that...I was trying to protect myself from 'bagula' of BJP. I knew what they would have done to my people. I had been in this party for 32 years. I do not want to take anyone's name and say anything absurd. But I think this is the time to fight...We will fight for justice... A few leaders in Delhi BJP are like 'spoiled sons' and central team of BJP is like an 'old father'. It is unable to look after these spoiled sons. Loot, running an organised gang, complaining and sabotaging hardcore workers...I saw that even AAP has a nationalist sentiment..."

Kailash Gahlot Resignation Live: Kailash Gahlot can expose a lot of secrets, says Devender Yadav
On Delhi Minister Kailash Gahlot’s resignation from AAP, Delhi Congress chief Devender Yadav says, "This means it is clear that Kailash Gahlot can expose a lot of secrets. That is why, the national convener and former CM didn't answer questions, and an MLA attempted to answer it. This clearly shows that Kejriwal is scared and is dodging questions. What are the secrets hidden in the heart and mind of Kailash Gahlot, that Arvind Kejriwal is scared of coming out in open?..."

"Anil Jha is welcome in AAP. Anil Jha is considered one of the biggest leaders of Purvanchal. People from UP and Bihar come to Delhi for education and employment. When the DDA failed to build houses for the poor, then illegal colonies were built and a large number of people from Purvanchal live in them. Both parties (Congress and BJP) have done injustice to the people of Purvanchal. When I became the CM, for the first time I started laying road, sewer and water pipelines in illegal colonies. We have laid water pipelines in 1650 out of 1750 illegal colonies"- Arvind Kejriwal

"There are many embarrassing and awkward controversies like the 'Sheeshmahal', which are now making everyone doubt whether we still believe in being the Aam Aadmi. It is now obvious that real progress for Delhi cannot happen if the Delhi Government spends majority of its time fighting with the Centre. I find myself left with no option but to step away from AAP and hence I resign from primary membership of Aam Aadmi Party."
