AAP MLA from Najafgarh, Kailash Gahlot, has officially assumed the role of Minister for Transport, Home Affairs, Administrative Reforms, and Women and Child Development in the newly formed Delhi government under Chief Minister Atishi, as of September 24, 2024.
Gahlot retains the same ministerial portfolios from the previous administration led by Arvind Kejriwal. Upon taking charge, he stated, “My only goal is to work for the people of Delhi as earlier and make our leader Arvind Kejriwal the Chief Minister again.”
Chief Minister Atishi and her three ministers—Gopal Rai, Imran Hussain, and Mukesh Ahlawat—also assumed their respective duties on Monday. In addition, Health Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj took charge on Saturday after the Chief Minister and her Council of Ministers were sworn in by Lt. Governor V.K. Saxena.
Gahlot expressed optimism about the upcoming Assembly elections in February, asserting that the party is well-prepared to ensure Kejriwal’s return as Delhi’s Chief Minister.
