Raghav Chadha, a prominent Rajya Sabha MP, announced his resignation from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday, expressing disappointment over the party's deviation from its founding ideals. Chadha, who has dedicated 15 years to the party, stated that it has shifted from its original mission of creating a corruption-free political alternative to serving personal interests. Alongside him, fellow party members Sandeep Pathak and Ashok Mittal also resigned, highlighting a growing discontent among AAP's leadership. Chadha emphasized that he feels like 'the right man in the wrong party' and plans to reconnect with the public directly. He mentioned that more than two-thirds of AAP's 10 Rajya Sabha MPs support his initiative, and they have submitted formal documentation to the Rajya Sabha Chairman. In response, AAP leader Sanjay Singh accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of launching 'Operation Lotus' to undermine the Punjab government led by Bhagwant Mann.
