Seven Aam Aadmi Party MPs have joined the BJP, with Swati Maliwal and Raghav Chadha among the defectors.
AAP MP Sanjay Singh has publicly claimed that seven MPs are in the process of leaving the party, labeling the alleged defection plan as the BJP's 'Operation Lotus'.
The initial claim of defections has been confirmed, with MPs Ashok Mittal and Sandeep Pathak named alongside Raghav Chadha as having formally merged with the BJP.
AAP MP Sanjay Singh has publicly criticized the BJP's tactics, linking an ED raid on Ashok Mittal to his subsequent party switch.
The report now specifies that seven AAP MPs have defected, naming Swati Maliwal among them, and includes a photo from the event.
