RS Chairman approves 7 AAP MPs Switch to BJP

The Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) strength in the Rajya Sabha has increased to 113 after Chairman C.P. Radhakrishnan approved the merger of Raghav Chadha and six other MPs who quit the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). 

The development marks a major setback for the AAP, which has now been reduced to just three members in



the Upper House after losing two-thirds of its MPs. 

Raghav Chadha, Sandeep Pathak, and Ashok Mittal parted ways with the AAP on Friday and joined the BJP in the presence of party leadership.

Harbhajan Singh, Rajinder Gupta, Vikramjit Singh Sahney, and Swati Maliwal had also switched to the BJP.
