In a massive political earthquake, Rajya Sabha MPs Raghav Chadha, Ashok Mittal, and Sandeep Pathak quit the Aam Aadmi Party on Friday and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party, sending shockwaves through Indian politics. Chadha said that more than two-thirds of AAP’s 10 Rajya Sabha MPs have decided to leave and merge with the BJP, with signed letters already submitted to the Chairman. At a press conference, Chadha stated that the party he dedicated 15 years to had deviated from its core principles and was no longer working in the national interest. He summed up his exit by saying, “I am the right man in the wrong party.” The split reportedly includes Swati Maliwal, Harbhajan Singh, Rajinder Gupta, and Vikramjit Singh Sahney, marking a constitutionally significant two-thirds merger that offers protection under anti-defection laws. The development follows AAP’s decision earlier this month to remove Chadha as deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha, accusing him of going soft on the Centre. He rejected the claims, saying he consistently raised public issues and did not want to be part of what he described as the party’s “crimes,” adding that the choice was either to quit politics or pursue a more positive path. The exit of Chadha, one of AAP’s most prominent faces, along with Swati Maliwal, delivers a major blow to Arvind Kejriwal’s party amid ongoing political challenges. @thetrid.ent
