Sun Nov 17 11:15:24 UTC 2024: ## Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot Quits AAP, Sparking Political Fallout

**NEW DELHI** – Delhi’s Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot dealt a significant blow to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday, resigning from the party. The resignation has triggered a wave of political speculation.

AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh accused the BJP of pressuring Gahlot through the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The timing of the resignation also raises questions about the potential AAP-Congress alliance for the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections, with state president Devendra Yadav hinting at clarity on this soon.

Despite the setback, AAP appears to be shoring up its position. Following Gahlot’s departure, a BJP MLA has reportedly joined the party.

The political developments come amidst other significant events in Delhi, including a major fire at a shop near Vishwavidyalaya metro station that caused widespread panic.
