Raghav Chadha Announces AAP RS Bloc’s Merger Move With BJP

In a dramatic political development, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Raghav Chadha on Friday announced that two-thirds of the party’s members in the Rajya Sabha have decided to merge with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), citing provisions under the Constitution. 

Addressing a joint press conference along with fellow MPs Sandeep Pathak and Ashok Mittal, Chadha said the decision had been taken collectively by the required majority to seek protection under the anti-defection



framework.

Chadha also said, "The AAP, which I nurtured with my blood and sweat, and gave 15 years of my youth to, has deviated from its principles, values and core morals. Now this party does not work in the interest of the nation but for its personal benefits.

For the past few years, I could feel that I am the right man in the wrong party. So, today, we announce that I am distancing myself from the AAP and getting close to public."
