In a major political development, Raghav Chadha has joined the Bharatiya Janata Party, announcing that a significant faction of AAP members in the Rajya Sabha will merge with the party.

Addressing a press conference, Chadha said that “two-thirds” of Aam Aadmi Party MPs in the Upper House have decided to invoke constitutional provisions to formally merge with the BJP. The move marks a dramatic shift in India’s political landscape and signals a potential realignment within Parliament.

The announcement comes after months of internal tensions between Chadha and the Aam Aadmi Party leadership. While details of the disagreements were not fully disclosed, political observers had noted growing differences in recent months.

Chadha, a prominent Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab, has been one of AAP’s most visible national faces. His decision to switch sides, along with a claimed bloc of MPs, could have significant implications for the party’s strength in the Upper House.

The development also raises questions about the stability of AAP’s parliamentary presence and its future political strategy. Meanwhile, BJP leaders have welcomed the move, viewing it as a boost to their influence in the Rajya Sabha.

The situation is expected to evolve further as official confirmations, procedural steps, and potential reactions from AAP leadership unfold.
