The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is taking steps to disqualify seven of its Rajya Sabha MPs who defected to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), a move that could have significant implications for the party ahead of the Punjab assembly elections. Senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh announced plans to write to Rajya Sabha chairman CP Radhakrishnan, asserting that the defections are unconstitutional and against parliamentary rules. The group of rebel MPs, led by Raghav Chadha, constitutes two-thirds of AAP's representation in the Upper House and has raised questions about the party's future. Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is also seeking a meeting with President Droupadi Murmu to formally demand action against the defectors, despite the absence of constitutional provisions for such recalls. Legal experts have pointed out that the merger with the BJP lacks proper procedural backing, further complicating the situation for AAP. Amidst accusations of BJP's attempts to destabilize AAP, party leaders are urging members to remain united in the face of this crisis.
