Anurag Thakur Lashes Out At AAP

Following former Delhi minister Kailash Gehlot's move to the BJP, party MP Anurag Thakur criticized the AAP, accusing it of making grand promises to the public but falling short on delivery. He also alleged that Arvind Kejriwal had established new standards of corruption.

Speaking to the media, Thakur said, "You made big promises to the people, which they could not fulfill. Kejriwal set new standards of corruption, and along with his entire team, he only indulged in corruption from top to bottom. The chief minister and deputy chief minister lost their posts as they indulged in corruption and were jailed for several months," he said. 

Anurag Thakur said, "The name of the one who broke the record of Congress is AAP. Meanwhile, former minister and AAP leader Kailash Gehlot joined the BJP on Monday, giving a major blow to the Aam Aadmi Party before the Delhi Assembly elections. Gehlot, who resigned from the AAP on Sunday, expressing deep concern over the party's direction and internal challenges, joined the BJP in the presence of Union minister Manohar Lal Khattar and other BJP leaders."

Speaking on his resignation from the AAP, Kailash Gahlot said that it was not an easy step for him.

“This was not an easy step for me. I have been associated with AAP since the days of Anna Ji and have consistently worked for the people of Delhi. To everyone who thinks that I made this decision under pressure, I want to say that I have never done anything under pressure. This is not a decision taken in just one day. I left my legal career to join AAP, and all of us were united by an ideology. Our sole purpose was to serve the people of Delhi,” he said.

He highlighted that when he saw those values being compromised, it caused great pain.

“The purpose for which we had come together is no longer visible today. If a government continuously engages in conflict with the central government on every issue, then the development of Delhi cannot take place,” Gahlot said.
