Social activist Anna Hazare expressed strong disapproval of Raghav Chadha's recent decision to leave the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Hazare stated that such moves, motivated by personal interests, are not aligned with the values of the Indian Constitution, which he regards as supreme. He pointed out that the internal issues within AAP likely contributed to the exits, suggesting that had the party adhered to its principles, these members would not have left. Chadha, along with Sandeep Pathak and Ashok Mittal, announced their departure from AAP during a press conference, claiming that nearly two-thirds of AAP's Rajya Sabha members had also resigned, indicating a significant split within the party. Following this upheaval, AAP is reportedly reassessing its strategies to mitigate the impact of this political shift, with senior leader Manish Sisodia meeting party convenor Arvind Kejriwal to discuss future actions.
