A major political upheaval has unfolded after Raghav Chadha quit the Aam Aadmi Party and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party along with several MPs. The move triggered a sharp reaction from Arvind Kejriwal, who accused the BJP of “betraying Punjabis” and attempting to weaken AAP’s stronghold in Punjab. The defection is seen as one of the biggest setbacks for AAP, exposing internal rifts and ideological differences. BJP, however, dismissed allegations of political manipulation. The development signals shifting alliances and intensifying rivalry ahead of upcoming elections, raising concerns over AAP’s stability and its influence in Punjab politics.
