**New Delhi:** The resignation of Delhi Cabinet Minister Kailash Gahlot from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and his ministerial post has ignited a political firestorm ahead of the upcoming assembly elections. While speculation mounts about Gahlot’s potential joining of the BJP, AAP MP Sanjay Singh has launched a scathing attack on the ruling party.

Singh, without explicitly naming Gahlot, accused the BJP of using the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Income Tax department to pressure AAP leaders. He alleged that Gahlot faced multiple ED raids and income tax scrutiny, implying this pressure led to his resignation. Singh likened the BJP’s actions to a “Modi washing powder,” suggesting that those who join the BJP have their alleged wrongdoings “cleaned.”

Singh further claimed that the BJP had leveled corruption charges against Gahlot, amounting to ₹112 crore, leaving him with no other option than to join the BJP. He characterized Gahlot’s resignation as a part of the BJP’s “vile politics and conspiracy,” alleging that the party was attempting to manipulate Gahlot for their political gain. The AAP maintains that Gahlot’s departure was a result of BJP pressure.

Gahlot’s resignation comes at a critical juncture, raising questions about the upcoming elections and the potential impact of these accusations on the AAP’s campaign.
