The recent defection of seven Rajya Sabha members from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has sent shockwaves through Punjab's political landscape. This event echoes previous political betrayals, notably during the tenure of former Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, when significant political shifts occurred unnoticed by intelligence agencies. The departure of key figures like Raghav Chadha and Sandeep Pathak raises questions about the AAP's internal stability, as these individuals were integral to the party's strategy and funding mechanisms. The political narrative in Punjab is fluid, with metaphors like 'scooter party' and 'cycle party' reflecting the rapid changes in allegiance. The labeling of defectors as 'gaddar' (traitors) contrasts sharply with the welcoming of new members, illustrating the selective interpretation of political loyalty. This situation underscores the importance of understanding the underlying networks that sustain political parties in Punjab.
