A day after quitting the Aam Aadi Party (AAP), former Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday. He joined the saffron party in the presence of Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and BJP national vice president Baijayant Panda.
Gahlot on joining BJP
After joining the BJP, Gahlot said some people must be thinking that this decision was taken overnight and under someone’s pressure. “I want to tell them that I have never done anything under anyone’s pressure till date…I am hearing that an attempt is being made to build a narrative that it was done under the pressure of ED and CBI but all this is wrong,” he added.
