Balkaur Singh, father of the late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, posted lyrics from his son's song 'Scapegoat' on social media after seven Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MPs, including Raghav Chadha, announced their merger with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The lyrics, which question accountability and loyalty, resonated with the current political climate in Punjab. The song, released on April 11, 2022, has garnered over 65 million views on YouTube and has been previously interpreted as a critique of AAP's political decisions. Following the MPs' defection, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann labeled the defectors as 'gaddar' (traitors) and expressed skepticism about their electoral viability. AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal also accused the BJP of betraying the people of Punjab. The political maneuvering has reignited discussions about AAP's stability in Punjab, where it previously held a strong majority, and raised concerns about potential further defections among its members.
