A day after joining BJP, Kailash Gehlot broke his silence on all the questions. Regarding leaving AAP, he said that in my letter I have explained in detail the main reason for leaving the party. The main issues are the same. The values that led us to join you. Kailash Gehlot said that I had said in the press conference yesterday that I was one of those workers who were associated with an ideology. There are millions of people like me. I believe that a party is never made up of any one person. This is impossible. When millions and crores of people joined a party and united for the common man, they connected with the ideologies, values and principles of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) but it can be seen weakening. Pollution doesn’t happen overnight, it happens over time. When I felt like this, I left.
On AAP’s allegations, he said that in 2018, an Income Tax search was conducted at my residence, but I was not scared. There must have been pressure at that time also. The CBI interrogated me and appeared before them every time I was called. I answered all his questions. So he must have been scared at that time also. No one knows about my ED-CBI interrogation, I believe that it is not necessary to tell everything through a press conference or hold a press conference on every small thing. When they summoned me, I appeared before the ED.

The former minister said that I answered his questions and cooperated in every possible way. So he must have been scared at that time also. There is no summons pending at present. There is no investigation pending at present. Then what is this fear? Yesterday also I had said that I never worked under fear or pressure and there is no pressure on me. He also said that with time things become clear to you. I had said yesterday that taking this decision (of leaving AAP) was not easy because we have been associated with this party since the beginning. We struggled a lot, since 2015. So, with time you will be confident. It’s not like you went to a mall and bought a jacket. This is very serious and emotional. I felt sad, that pain is not just for one day. This is a long story.
