In the aftermath of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest, the political landscape in Delhi remains tumultuous as the Enforcement Directorate sets its sights on another key figure. Delhi Minister and AAP leader Kailash Gahlot found himself summoned for questioning in connection with a money-laundering probe linked to the contentious liquor policy case. Despite the unfolding scrutiny, Gahlot promptly appeared before the agency to address their inquiries.
At 49 years old, Kailash Gahlot serves as the AAP MLA from Delhi’s Najafgarh constituency, holding pivotal portfolios as the minister for transport, home, and law in the Delhi government. His summoning by the Enforcement Directorate adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing legal saga surrounding the AAP leadership.
Accusations of “dictatorship” have been hurled by AAP leader Dilip Kumar Pandey against the BJP government, underscoring the escalating tensions between the two political factions. With prominent AAP figures such as Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, and Arvind Kejriwal already incarcerated over similar charges, the spotlight now falls on Gahlot, Atishi, and Saurabh Bharadwaj as the remaining prominent AAP leaders not currently in jail.
The Enforcement Directorate’s arrest of Arvind Kejriwal on March 21 sent shockwaves through Delhi’s political corridors, following the Delhi High Court’s refusal to shield him from arrest in connection with the excise policy. Kejriwal’s repeated defiance of nine summonses issued by the Enforcement Directorate ultimately led to his detention, marking a significant escalation in the legal battle.
Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has intensified its calls for Arvind Kejriwal’s resignation as Delhi chief minister, citing moral imperatives amidst the mounting legal challenges faced by AAP leaders. The political landscape in Delhi remains fraught with uncertainty as the legal proceedings unfold, leaving residents and observers alike on edge amidst the swirling controversies.
