Raghav Chadha, a senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP, announced today that he is quitting the party and joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), along with a significant number of other AAP members in the Upper House.
This development marks a major setback for AAP and its leader, Arvind Kejriwal.
Chadha claimed that about two-thirds of AAP’s Rajya Sabha MPs are leaving the party to join the BJP.
Besides Chadha, the MPs named as joining the BJP include Swati Maliwal, Harbhajan Singh, Sandeep Pathak, Ashok Mittal, Rajinder Gupta and Vikram Sahney.
