Kailash Gahlot Joins BJP a Day After Quitting AAP
Former Delhi Minister Kailash Gahlot joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday, a day after he quit the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)
Gahlot, a two-time MLA from the Najafgarh constituency, is considered close to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. He was inducted into the BJP by party president JP Nadda at the party headquarters in New Delhi.Gahlot's exit from AAP is a major setback for the party, which is already facing a leadership crisis after Kejriwal's resignation as Delhi Chief Minister.
Gahlot is the second senior AAP leader to join the BJP in recent months. In March, former AAP MLA Kapil Mishra joined the BJP.Gahlot's decision to join the BJP is a sign of growing discontent within AAP.
The party has been hit by a series of defections in recent months, and there are reports that other senior leaders are also considering leaving.
The BJP, on the other hand, is hoping to gain from AAP's troubles.
The party has been trying to make inroads into Delhi for several years, and it sees Gahlot's defection as a major opportunity.
Gahlot is a popular leader in Delhi, and his joining the BJP could help the party win over new voters.
The AAP is likely to face a tough challenge in the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections.
The party is facing anti-incumbency, and it is also weakened by the defection of several senior leaders.
The BJP, on the other hand, is hoping to capitalize on AAP's troubles and win the Delhi Assembly elections.
