The passage reports a major political setback for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), as seven out of its ten Rajya Sabha MPs have announced their decision to leave the party and join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Among them, three MPs have already met BJP president Nitin Naveen and formally joined the party. In response, AAP has taken a strong stance and plans to seek disqualification of these three MPs under the anti-defection law. Party leader Sanjay Singh stated that he will write to the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, requesting cancellation of their membership. AAP claims that the required number of MPs for a valid split was not met, making their defection invalid. This development has triggered a major political crisis, especially significant ahead of the Punjab Assembly elections, intensifying tensions and reshaping the political landscape.
