In a significant political shift, Raghav Chadha and several Rajya Sabha MPs have resigned from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Following this development, senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh announced his intention to write to the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha to seek the disqualification of the rebel MPs, citing their voluntary departure from the party as a breach of the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution of India. Chadha, who was previously AAP's deputy leader, stated that the party has deviated from its core values, leading him to believe he is 'the right person in the wrong party.' Alongside him, other MPs, including Sandeep Pathak and Ashok Mittal, confirmed their departures, marking a significant loss for AAP as over two-thirds of its Rajya Sabha members have now joined the BJP. This internal upheaval follows recent organizational changes within AAP, further complicating the party's political landscape.
