Seven AAP MPs Join BJP, Dealing Major Blow to Party Leadership

In a significant political development, seven Members of Parliament (MPs) from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have reportedly joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), as reflected on the official Parliament website. The list includes prominent leaders such as Raghav Chadha and Sandeep Pathak, both of whom have been key figures in AAP’s national strategy.

The transition has been formally approved by the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, giving the move official recognition. This shift is expected to alter the balance of power in the Upper House and strengthen the BJP’s position in legislative proceedings.

For AAP and its chief Arvind Kejriwal, the development comes as a major setback. Losing multiple MPs—especially influential ones like Chadha and Pathak—could impact the party’s presence and voice at the national level.

While there has been no immediate detailed response from the AAP leadership, political observers believe the move may trigger further realignments and debates over party loyalty and internal dynamics.

The BJP, meanwhile, stands to gain from the increased numbers, potentially easing the passage of key bills in the Rajya Sabha.
