BJP once again betrayed people of Punjab: Arvind Kejriwal after 7 AAP RS MPs quit party

Chadha said several Rajya Sabha MPs, including disgruntled party leader Swati Maliwal and former cricketer Harbhajan Singh, had also quit AAP.

AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said that the BJP had once again betrayed the people of Punjab after seven Rajya Sabha MPs quit the party.

In a post on X, Kejriwal said, "The BJP has once again betrayed Punjabis."

While addressing a joint press conference earlier, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MPs Raghav Chadha and Sandeep Pathak said that they were joining the BJP.

Chadha claimed that nearly two-thirds of AAP's Rajya Sabha MPs had quit the party and would join the BJP as a separate faction.

He also alleged that several Rajya Sabha MPs, including disgruntled party leader Swati Maliwal and former cricketer Harbhajan Singh, had also quit AAP.

Chadha claimed that seven out of AAP's 10 Rajya Sabha MPs had resigned from the party.
