Raghav Chadha, a former Member of Parliament from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), announced his departure from the party on Saturday, stating that he and six other Rajya Sabha MPs left not out of fear but due to dissatisfaction with the leadership of Arvind Kejriwal. Chadha, once seen as a rising star within AAP, joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), marking a significant internal rift within AAP. He expressed concern that many dedicated members of AAP have either left or are planning to leave, as they feel the party is heading in the wrong direction. Chadha emphasized that AAP has fallen into 'corrupt and compromised hands,' which has eroded the trust of its supporters. He also pointed to the Sheesh Mahal controversy as a contributing factor to AAP's recent electoral defeats in Delhi, urging the party to introspect on its current state and direction.
