In a significant political shift, Raghav Chadha and six other Rajya Sabha MPs have left the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to merge with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This unexpected move comes as Punjab prepares for elections in early 2027, raising alarms about AAP's stability and future electoral prospects. Internal dissent has been voiced by AAP's chief spokesperson, Malwinder Singh Kang, who criticized the party for granting too much power to Chadha while sidelining Sandeep Pathak, the national general secretary who played a crucial role in expanding AAP's influence. Kang suggested that better communication and coordination are needed to prevent further defections. Chadha expressed his disillusionment with AAP's current trajectory, stating that he could no longer align with the party's actions, which he deemed unworthy of its original mission. The exit of these key leaders, especially Pathak, who had deep insights into AAP's strategies, poses a significant challenge for the party as it struggles to maintain its foothold in Delhi and Punjab.
