AAP Rajya Sabha MPs Defect to BJP: Party Plans Anti-Defection Law Action

After two-thirds of AAP's Rajya Sabha MPs defected to the BJP, senior leader Manish Sisodia met with party convenor Arvind Kejriwal to strategize response. The party plans to lodge a complaint with the Rajya Sabha Chairman seeking action under the anti-defection law against three visible defectors: Raghav Chadha, Sandeep Pathak, and Ashok Mittal. The split followed weeks of internal rift after AAP leadership removed Chadha as deputy leader in Rajya Sabha.

Legal Experts Say AAP MPs Merger with BJP Won't Violate Anti-Defection Law

Legal experts say seven AAP Rajya Sabha MPs joining BJP would not violate the Tenth Schedule as two-thirds of AAP's legislature party (7 of 10 MPs) can legally merge with another party under Section 4(2) of the anti-defection law. Experts noted the arbiter of such disputes—the Speaker—often owes their position to the ruling dispensation, making disqualification difficult.

Legal Experts Say AAP MPs Joining BJP Won't Violate Anti-Defection Law

Renowned legal experts have stated that seven AAP Rajya Sabha MPs led by Raghav Chadha joining the BJP would not violate the anti-defection law under the Tenth Schedule. Section 4(2) of the Tenth Schedule permits merger if two-thirds of a legislature party approves, and with AAP having 10 MPs in Rajya Sabha, seven constitutes the required two-thirds threshold. Senior advocates Mukul Rohatgi, Neeraj Kishan Kaul, Maninder Singh, and A M Singhvi highlighted that the presiding officer who arbitrates such disputes owes their position to the ruling dispensation, making disqualification difficult.
