AAP MPs, including Raghav Chadha, join BJP

Seven Members of Parliament from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have defected to India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The group includes high-profile figures such as Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal and Raghav Chadha, who had previously announced his resignation from AAP. The defectors have arrived at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi to formally join the party, marking a significant political realignment. This mass defection deals a major blow to the AAP's parliamentary strength and signals a consolidation of power for the BJP ahead of upcoming elections.
