New Delhi: From being a member of AAP's minority wing to securing a cabinet berth, Asim Ahmed Khan of AAP Khan is known as the 'giant-killer' for defeating five-time MLA Shoaib Iqbal in Matia Mahal assembly constituency.
Khan defeated Iqbal in Matia Mahal by a margin of over 26,000 votes but more importantly, AAP's minority wing played a crucial role in swinging in minority votes away from Congress, which led to a massive landslide victory for Kejriwal-led party.
Khan has been appointed as the new minister for Food and Civil Supply, Environment and Forest and Election departments in newly-formed AAP government.
38-year-old Khan is a graduate from Chaudhary Charan Singh University, Meerut and is a businessman by profession.
