Gehlot, who represented the Najafgarh constituency, expressed deep dissatisfaction with AAP’s inability to fulfill its key electoral pledges. He specifically pointed to the failure in cleaning the Yamuna River, a commitment that had been central to the party’s campaign. “We promised the people a cleaner Yamuna, but we have failed to deliver on that commitment,” Gehlot wrote, reflecting his dismay over the party’s performance in addressing environmental challenges.

The resignation also touched upon the controversial “Sheeshmahal,” a term critics have used to describe Kejriwal’s alleged extravagant residence. Gehlot noted that such controversies have tarnished the party’s image as a champion of the common man. “There are several embarrassing and bizarre issues like Sheeshmahal, which have now led people to question whether we still believe in being the party of the common man,” he stated, signaling his disillusionment with AAP’s current trajectory.
Gehlot concluded his resignation letter by stating that he felt compelled to step away from the party. “I find myself left with no option but to step away from AAP, and therefore, I am resigning from the primary membership of the party,” he said.
