In a significant political shift, seven former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Members of Parliament, including Raghav Chadha, have defected to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Congress leader Ramesh Babu criticized the move, labeling it a 'big blunder' by BJP National President Nitin Nabin and arguing that it undermines democratic foundations. AAP spokesperson Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal referred to the defectors as 'rotten eggs,' accusing them of betraying the party and the people of Punjab. He emphasized that the MPs were initially given Rajya Sabha tickets with the intention of representing the youth and culture of Punjab. Raghav Chadha defended the exit, stating that AAP has deviated from its core values and no longer accommodates honest members. This defection raises concerns about AAP's ability to maintain its influence in the upper house of Parliament, as it represents a significant loss of support for the party.
