Sanjay Singh (Aam Aadmi Party MP) has intensified the political battle following the defection of seven Rajya Sabha MPs to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He filed a petition with the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha and the Vice President of India, seeking the termination of these MPs' memberships, citing violations of the anti-defection law and constitutional rules. Singh described the merger as 'illegal and unconstitutional,' emphasizing that the anti-defection law prohibits any splits or factional breakaways in legislative bodies. This development comes after Raghav Chadha and other AAP MPs formally announced their shift to the BJP, causing unrest within the party. Singh has also dismissed rumors about Punjab MLAs contacting Chadha as false propaganda, asserting that public sentiment is against the defectors. Furthermore, he accused the BJP of attempting to undermine AAP's growth in Gujarat, where the party has been gaining traction. Despite alleged harassment of AAP leaders by authorities, Singh remains confident that the BJP will not hinder AAP's progress.
