Swati Maliwal, one of the seven Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MPs who defected to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has publicly criticized AAP's current leadership under Arvind Kejriwal. She claims the party has strayed from its original principles of honesty and transparency, now being known for 'lies, corruption, and hooliganism.' After a personal incident where she alleges she was assaulted by a Kejriwal aide, Maliwal has become a vocal critic of the party. She expressed that no good person can work with Kejriwal for long due to his inconsistency. Maliwal praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his leadership and India's global standing, asserting her decision to join the BJP was made without fear of government agencies. The recent defections from AAP, including prominent member Raghav Chadha, significantly diminish the party's strength in the Upper House of Parliament, potentially easing the passage of controversial legislation for the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
