Raghav Chadha, a former Member of Parliament from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), made headlines after joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alongside six other MPs. His decision has reignited interest in an old video where he harshly criticized the BJP, labeling it a 'party of illiterate goons.' This apparent contradiction has led to significant scrutiny of Chadha's ideological consistency and motivations for switching parties. Chadha stated that he felt disillusioned with AAP, claiming the party had strayed from its foundational principles. His departure from AAP follows a recent internal conflict, where he was stripped of his deputy leadership role on April 2, 2026, and faced restrictions on his speaking time in the Rajya Sabha. The BJP's acceptance of Chadha and the defectors adds pressure on AAP's leadership, highlighting the ongoing factional struggles within the party.
