Sanjay Singh (AAP MP) has formally approached the Secretary-General of the Rajya Sabha, requesting immediate clarification on alleged alterations to the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) official records. Singh's inquiry follows a significant political shift, where seven AAP MPs, including Raghav Chadha, defected to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), reducing AAP’s representation in the Upper House to just three members. Following the merger, the BJP's strength has risen to 113 in the Rajya Sabha. Singh has also filed a petition challenging the validity of this merger, citing provisions in the Tenth Schedule of the Indian Constitution regarding disqualification due to defection. However, the merger appears valid as it involved two-thirds of the AAP MPs, which is permissible under the Constitution. This development has sparked strong reactions from AAP leaders, who have labeled the defections as a betrayal, while the BJP has welcomed the new members.
