On Tuesday, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann met with President Droupadi Murmu to request the termination of the memberships of six Rajya Sabha MPs from Punjab who defected to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Mann described their actions as a “mockery” and “murder” of the Constitution. This meeting occurred shortly after four of the six MPs, including Raghav Chadha, approached the President to allege harassment by the Punjab government following their exit from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). The AAP faced a significant setback on April 24, when seven of its ten Rajya Sabha members left the party to merge with the BJP, reducing AAP's representation in the Upper House to just three members. During the meeting, Mann, accompanied by more than 85 of the party’s 94 MLAs, submitted a memorandum with 95 signatures advocating for a constitutional amendment to allow voters the right to recall their elected representatives. President Murmu assured Mann that she would consult constitutional experts regarding the request. Notably, Chadha had previously supported the idea of a recall mechanism while serving as an AAP MP.
