Kejriwal's bungalow controversy
In the resignation letter, Gahlot addressed the controversy around Arvind Kejriwal's new office bungalow. He wrote, "There are several embarrassing and bizarre issues like the new bungalow, which have now led people to question whether we still believe in being the party of the common man.¡±
¡®Unfulfilled promises¡¯
Another reason that Gahlot cited for quitting was ¡°unfulfilled promises¡± made by the government. He expressed his dissatisfaction over the party's inability to deliver the key promises made to the people of the national capital.
He also highlighted the failure to clean the Yamuna river, which has been a major issue taken up as an election pledge.
¡°We promised the people a cleaner Yamuna, but we have failed to deliver on that commitment,¡± he wrote.
He further added the constant tiff between the Delhi government and the Centre has created problems in the progress of Delhi. Gahlot added, ¡°It is now clear that if the Delhi government spends most of its time fighting with the Centre, real progress for Delhi is not possible.¡±
Had no choice but to distance himself from the party
Kailash Gahlot finally concludes the letter by writing that he had no other option but to distance himself from the Aam Aadmi Party. He wrote that he himself left with no option but to quit, and therefore, he resigned from the primary membership of the party.
