"Raghav Chaddha's resignation from the Aam Aadmi Party, along with six other MPs, has significantly reduced the party's strength in the Rajya Sabha from ten to three members."
"The timing of this announcement is particularly significant as it comes just ahead of the 2027 assembly elections in Punjab, which is considered an AAP stronghold."
"The merger of two-thirds of AAP MPs with the BJP enables them to circumvent challenges under India's anti-defection law, which protects members of the Rajya Sabha."
Raghav Chaddha resigned from the Aam Aadmi Party and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party along with six other MPs. This resignation followed his removal as deputy leader of the Rajya Sabha. The AAP's strength in the upper house has decreased from ten members to three. The timing is crucial as it precedes the 2027 assembly elections in Punjab, a stronghold for AAP. The merger allows the MPs to avoid challenges under India's anti-defection law due to the two-thirds rule.
