Hamirpur (Himachal Pradesh) [India], November 18 (ANI): After former Delhi Minister Kailash Gahlot joined the BJP, party MP Anurag Thakur slammed the AAP and said it made big promises to the people that they could not fulfil and Arvind Kejriwal established new standards of corruption.
Speaking to the media, Thakur said, “AAP made big promises to the people which they could not fulfil. Kejriwal established new standards of corruption and along with his entire team, they have only done corruption from top to bottom. The Chief Minister and Deputy CM had to lose their positions because they were involved in corruption and spent several months in jail.”
“The one who broke the record of Congress, its name is AAP,” Anurag Thakur added.
Meanwhile, in a major setback to the Aam Aadmi Party ahead of the Delhi Assembly polls, former Minister and AAP leader Kailash Gahlot joined the BJP on Monday.
Gehlot, who resigned from AAP on Sunday citing deep concerns 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. (ANI)
