Seven Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MPs from Punjab have crossed over, triggering a fierce counterattack from the party against the BJP. Calling it a calculated bid to capture Punjab through defections after BJP’s repeated electoral setbacks, AAP leaders including National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal, Punjab CM Bhagwant Singh Mann, Punjab Prabhari Manish Sisodia and others declared the move as a betrayal of Punjab’s people.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has decided to write to the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha seeking termination of the membership of MPs Raghav Chadha, Ashok Mittal and Sandeep Pathak, who voluntarily gave up their party membership.

AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal took to ‘X’ and wrote, “BJP has once again pushed Punjabis.”

Meanwhile, Punjab CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the BJP has always been anti Punjab. “Ever since strict laws against ‘beadbi’ (sacrilege) were passed, the BJP’s unease has become clearly visible and they are unable to tolerate it. To take revenge for its repeated defeats in Punjab, the BJP has always harbored hatred towards Punjab and the Aam Aadmi Party. We strongly condemn both those who left the party and those who inducted them.”

He added, “I want to make it clear from the sacred land of Punjab that the AAP is a party of common people, and the people are our real strength. The traitors of Punjab will certainly be taught a lesson by the public. They cannot win Punjab through such tricks. In a democracy, the people are supreme, and ordinary people are our strength. The AAP is a party with a revolutionary ideology and has always stood united and firmly for the truth.”

Meanwhile, Punjab Prabhari Manish Sisodia, who is on a visit to Gujarat, said on BJP due to their personal compulsions, fear and greed, and who have betrayed the people of Punjab, should know that Punjab never forgives traitors.”

Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh stated, “I will submit a letter to the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha demanding that Raghav Chadha, Ashok Mittal and Sandeep Pathak be disqualified from Rajya Sabha membership for joining the BJP, because this amounts to voluntarily giving up membership of their party under the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution.”
