Ashok Mittal, who previously hosted Arvind Kejriwal (chief of the Aam Aadmi Party) at his official residence in New Delhi, has resigned from AAP and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This move comes shortly after Kejriwal relocated to a new government bungalow on April 24, 2024. Mittal's exit is part of a larger trend, as several other prominent AAP leaders, including Raghav Chadha and Swati Maliwal, have also defected to the BJP, indicating deepening divisions within the party. These resignations follow a period of internal strife, particularly after Kejriwal's decision to replace Chadha as deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha with Mittal. In an effort to retain his party members, Kejriwal reached out to them with promises of future opportunities, but a planned meeting failed to materialize as the MPs announced their departures earlier in the day. This situation raises questions about AAP's leadership and stability moving forward.
