Seven AAP Rajya Sabha MPs Join BJP in Major Blow to Party Ahead of 2027 Punjab Polls
Seven AAP Rajya Sabha MPs, including key strategists Sandeep Pathak and Raghav Chadha, have quit the party and joined BJP, dealing a symbolic blow to AAP in Punjab ahead of the 2027 assembly elections. Pathak was the 'silent mastermind' behind AAP's 2022 Punjab victory, while Chadha served as Punjab co-incharge. Their operational influence had already diminished after Manish Sisodia took over as Punjab in-charge in March 2025. The MPs invoked the two-thirds merger provision of the Tenth Schedule to retain their Rajya Sabha seats.
