Major Shift In AAP: Raghav Chadha Announces BJP Membership For Seven Rajya Sabha MPs Daily Udaipur

New Delhi, April 24: A significant political upheaval occurred on Friday when senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha announced his decision to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). During a press conference held in Delhi, he was accompanied by Sandeep Pathak and Ashok Mittal. Chadha claimed that two-thirds of AAP’s Rajya Sabha MPs would also be joining the BJP alongside him.

Chadha expressed that he had felt for some time that he was “the right person in the wrong party.” He stated that AAP has strayed from its core principles, values, and ethics, now prioritizing personal interests over national welfare. He mentioned that he and the other MPs would merge with the BJP using constitutional provisions.

Chadha noted that AAP has a total of 10 MPs in the Rajya Sabha, with seven supporting his move. The names he mentioned include Raghav Chadha, Sandeep Pathak, Ashok Mittal, Harbhajan Singh, Swati Maliwal, Rajendra Gupta, and Vikram Sahni. If this claim holds true, it would significantly weaken AAP’s presence in the Rajya Sabha.

Reports indicate that the Enforcement Directorate had conducted a raid at Ashok Mittal’s residence on April 15, which intensified discussions about his potential shift to the BJP. His public alignment with Raghav Chadha has further escalated political activity.

Political analysts believe this development could particularly impact politics in Punjab, where assembly elections are scheduled for next year. This is seen as a major setback for AAP, while it could provide a strategic advantage for the BJP. The ramifications of this shift may soon become evident in both the Rajya Sabha and Punjab’s political landscape.
