The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has initiated proceedings to disqualify seven of its Rajya Sabha MPs, including Raghav Chadha, who recently merged with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This merger, which involves seven out of ten AAP MPs in the Upper House, has raised legal complexities regarding the anti-defection law. AAP MP Sanjay Singh has submitted a petition to the Rajya Sabha Chairman, CP Radhakrishnan, arguing that the MPs' departure from the party constitutes a violation of the anti-defection provisions outlined in the Tenth Schedule of the Indian Constitution. According to Singh, the MPs' actions represent a betrayal of the voters' mandate, especially in Punjab, where six of the seven MPs were elected. The party plans to escalate this issue to the constitutional level, with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann seeking a meeting with President Droupadi Murmu to demand the recall of the defectors. However, there is currently no constitutional provision for such a recall, a fact acknowledged by legal experts.
