Bhagwant Mann, the Chief Minister of Punjab, is set to meet President Droupadi Murmu to discuss the recent defection of seven members of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This meeting will take place on Tuesday, with Mann scheduled to meet the President at 12 noon. He intends to advocate for the recall of the defectors, who make up two-thirds of AAP's representation in the Rajya Sabha. The defectors include prominent members such as Raghav Chadha and Sandeep Pathak. Prior to Mann's meeting, Chadha and three other Rajya Sabha members will meet Murmu at 10:40 am to report alleged misuse of official machinery by the Punjab government for political purposes. This situation has intensified political tensions in Punjab, particularly following reports of legal actions against AAP members, including two FIRs against Pathak and a raid on the firm of Rajinder Gupta, another defector. Mann's meeting will also include the presentation of a confidence motion passed by the Punjab Vidhan Sabha on May 1, reflecting the party's concerns about its stability amidst these defections.
