Following Raghav Chadha's resignation from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), social activist Anna Hazare expressed his disappointment with the party's leadership. Hazare stated that changing political parties for selfish reasons is not aligned with democratic values and emphasized that the AAP's internal issues likely contributed to the exits. Chadha, who represents Punjab in the Rajya Sabha, announced his departure along with six other MPs, marking a significant two-thirds split in AAP's Upper House strength. He cited corruption within AAP as a primary reason for his exit, claiming the party has deviated from honest politics. Earlier this month, Chadha was removed as deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha, signaling ongoing internal conflicts. Hazare's remarks highlight the necessity for political parties to adhere to constitutional principles and maintain integrity to prevent such departures.
