Gehlot's letter to Kejriwal, 2 points
- Gehlot said in a letter to Kejriwal – I also want to share with you that today the party is facing serious challenges. Challenges of common values that have brought us together. Political ambitions have outstripped commitments to the people and many promises remain unfulfilled. For example Yamuna which we promised to make a clean river, but never did, now Yamuna river is more polluted than before.
- Gehlot said- Another painful thing is that instead of fighting for people's rights, we are only fighting for our political agenda, due to which the people of Delhi are facing difficulty in providing even basic services. I started my political journey with a commitment to serve the people of Delhi and I want to continue to do so, so I have no option left to walk away from any party and I am resigning from the primary membership of Aam Aadmi Party.
