Raghav Chadha, a prominent leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), has resigned along with six other MPs, announcing their merger with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). At a press conference, Chadha expressed his disillusionment with AAP, stating that the party has deviated from its foundational principles and now prioritizes personal interests over national concerns. His departure follows his removal as the deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha earlier this month, a decision that reflected his growing distance from the party's core agenda. In recent years, Chadha has shifted his focus towards broader public issues, advocating for initiatives such as paid paternity leave and addressing high food prices at airports. His concerns about the rights of gig workers and traffic conditions in major Indian cities highlight his commitment to public welfare. The resignation and merger come in the wake of AAP's disappointing performance in the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections, raising questions about the party's future direction.
