About Kailash Gahlot

Kailash Gahlot

Kailash Gahlot is a key candidate in the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections, representing the BJP from the Bijwasan constituency. He is a significant candidate in the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections due to his recent shift from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). His decision to leave AAP, citing that political ambitions overshadowed the party’s commitment to the people, positions him as a critical voice against his former party, which has dominated Delhi politics since 2015. Contesting from Bijwasan, Gahlot’s experience and insights into AAP’s strategies could provide the BJP with a strategic advantage in challenging AAP’s stronghold.
