In a major political development, Raghav Chadha resigned from the Aam Aadmi Party and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party along with several Rajya Sabha MPs, including Ashok Mittal. The move follows a deepening rift with party leadership, particularly Arvind Kejriwal. Reports suggest over two-thirds of AAP’s Upper House MPs backed the shift, citing internal conflicts and ideological differences. AAP has termed the move a “betrayal” and accused BJP of destabilising the party, while BJP welcomed the leaders. The defection marks a significant setback for AAP and reshapes parliamentary dynamics.
