Rajya Sabha Chairman C.P. Radhakrishnan has formally approved the merger of seven Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MPs with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The Chairman accepted the merger under the Anti-Defection law, as the seven MPs constituted more than two-thirds of the total AAP MPs, preventing their disqualification. This move strengthens the BJP's position in parliament's upper house, consolidating its legislative control.
