'BJP once again betrayed Punjabis': Kejriwal on Raghav Chadha's shocker
24 Apr 2026

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal has reacted to the rebellion of Raghav Chadha with a one-line sentence.

"The BJP has once again given Punjabis a shove," he wrote in Hindi on X.

An hour ago, Chadha announced that he will be joining the BJP along with six other Rajya Sabha MPs in a stunning blow to the AAP he had joined in 2012 when the party was in its germination stage.

BJP's cheap politics, says Singh
Accusations

AAP MP Sanjay Singh also reacted to the shocker by pointing fingers at the BJP, which he accused of conducting "Operation Lotus."

Singh slammed the BJP for its alleged "cheap politics" and accused it of obstructing the good work done by the Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann-led AAP government.

He asked Punjabis to remember the names of these defecting MPs, saying they would never be forgiven for their betrayal.
