When Arvind Kejriwal stepped down as Delhi’s Chief Minister, speculation was rife about his successor. Among the names being discussed was Kailash Gahlot, signifying his stature as one of AAP’s prominent leaders.

Aam Aadmi Party National Convener Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said Delhi Minister Kailash Gahlot who resigned from the party and joined the BJP is a free man and "could go wherever he wants."

Former Delhi Minister Kailash Gahlot is likely to join BJP on Monday a day after resigning from the Aam Aadmi Party. "An eminent personality will join BJP today at 12:30 PM," BJP's media cell said. The development comes just months ahead of the crucial Delhi elections.

The response came barely hours after Gahlot quit from the party, citing deep concerns over the party's direction and internal challenges, saying that the political ambitions within the party have overshadowed its core commitment to serving the people.

Kailash Gahlot, former Delhi minister and senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday, a day after quitting Arvind Kejriwal-led party.

The unexpected resignation of Kailash Gahlot from AAP to join BJP has sent shockwaves through the party just months before the Delhi Assembly elections. As a key architect of major welfare schemes, his departure raises questions about AAP's future and the fate of critical projects he oversaw.

During the joining ceremony, Gahlot addressed allegations that he joined BJP because he was being pressured by investigative agencies
