Mahua Moitra, a Member of Parliament from the Trinamool Congress (TMC), launched a scathing attack on Raghav Chadha, a leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), after he and two other Rajya Sabha MPs joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Moitra accused Chadha of choosing to align with the BJP rather than remain with AAP, stating, "He'd rather be a part of BJP's crimes." This criticism came in light of Chadha's announcement that he and six other AAP MPs had formally informed the Rajya Sabha Chairman of their departure from the party. The split, which has been brewing for weeks, has left AAP strategizing on how to address the fallout. Senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia met with party convenor Arvind Kejriwal to discuss the implications of the split and future strategies. Additionally, AAP plans to invoke the anti-defection law against the defectors, with the party's chief whip preparing to submit a complaint to the Rajya Sabha Chairman regarding the matter.
