Arvind Kejriwal (national convener of the Aam Aadmi Party) criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party for allegedly betraying the people of Punjab following the resignation of several AAP Rajya Sabha MPs. In a post on X, Kejriwal highlighted the recent exodus of party members, including senior leaders Raghav Chadha and Sandeep Pathak, who announced their shift to the BJP during a press conference. Chadha revealed that nearly two-thirds of AAP's Rajya Sabha MPs have left the party, claiming that 7 out of 10 MPs have resigned. This mass resignation marks a significant setback for AAP and raises concerns about the party's future in the Upper House. Kejriwal linked these developments to the BJP's ongoing efforts to undermine AAP's mandate in Punjab, further escalating the political confrontation between the two parties.
