**New Delhi:** Delhi Cabinet Minister Kailash Gahlot has resigned from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), citing unspecified “grave challenges” facing the party. The resignation comes as a significant blow to the AAP, given Gahlot’s long tenure and prominent role in the Delhi government.
Gahlot, a veteran AAP leader since 2015, held multiple key portfolios including Administrative Reforms, Transport, Home, Women and Child Development, and Information Technology. He was first elected to the Delhi Legislative Assembly representing the Najafgarh constituency. A Supreme Court and Delhi High Court advocate with over 16 years of legal experience, Gahlot also served as a Member Executive in the Delhi High Court Bar Association.
While the reasons for his resignation remain unclear, Gahlot’s announcement points to internal difficulties within the party. In 2018, he faced scrutiny from the Income Tax Department over alleged tax evasion. Further details regarding the “grave challenges” he referenced are expected.
