The Aam Aadmi Party on Sunday lost its popular Jat face and key minister in Delhi, Kailash Gahlot, whose resignation is likely to hit the AAP government's ambitious plan to roll out the scheme of Rs 1,000 monthly honorarium to women ahead of Assembly polls due in February.
Gahlot represented the Jat-dominated Najafgarh constituency in West Delhi since 2015. The ripples of his resignation are sure to be felt in the rural belt of outer Delhi areas that have a significant presence of the community, AAP sources said.
The 50-year-old held portfolios of Transport, Home, IT, Administrative Reforms, and Women and Child Development in the Atishi government.
