Raghav Chadha Quits AAP: Raghav Chadha, along with six Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MPs, on Friday resigned from the party to merge with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This comes days after the party removed Chadha as the deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha.

Addressing the media along with Sandeep Pathak and Ashok Mittal, Chadha said, "The AAP, which I nurtured with my blood and sweat and gave 15 years of my youth to, has deviated from its principles, values and core morals. Now this party does not work in the interest of the nation but for its personal benefit…"

"For the past few years, I could feel that I was the right man in the wrong party. So, today, we announce that I am distancing myself from the AAP and getting closer to the public," he added.

Besides Chadha, six other party leaders, including Swati Maliwal, Harbhajan Singh, Sandeep Pathak, Vikram Sahney, and Rajinder Gupta, also resigned to merge with the BJP.
