Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh has accused India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of a plot to 'finish' the AAP government in Punjab, claiming the operation is orchestrated by Home Minister Amit Shah. Singh specifically referenced the defection of several high-profile figures to the BJP, naming cricketer Harbhajan Singh and former Delhi Commission for Women chief Swati Maliwal. He labeled the BJP's alleged strategy to topple opposition state governments as 'Operation Lotus.' The accusations come amid ongoing political tensions and follow the recent resignation of AAP MP Raghav Chadha, who also claimed other MPs were set to join the BJP.
