• Arvind Kejriwal slams AAP MPs joining BJP as betrayal
• AAP MPs joining BJP sparks strong reaction from Kejriwal
• Punjab people will not forgive AAP MPs joining BJP says Kejriwal

A sharp political confrontation has emerged after several AAP Rajya Sabha MPs switched sides to the BJP, triggering a strong response from party chief Arvind Kejriwal. Calling the move a betrayal, he said the people of Punjab would not forgive those who abandoned the party.

The controversy intensified as prominent leaders including Raghav Chadha and Swati Maliwal were among those who exited AAP and joined the BJP. The sudden shift of multiple MPs has dealt a significant blow to the party’s leadership and raised concerns about internal stability.

Reacting to the developments, AAP MP Sanjay Singh accused the BJP of reviving what he described as political operations to weaken opposition parties. He alleged that central agencies such as the Enforcement Directorate and CBI were being used to pressure and lure elected representatives.

Singh pointed to recent enforcement action at the residence of Ashok Mittal, claiming that the timing of the raid and his subsequent decision to join BJP raised serious questions. He argued that such tactics were aimed at engineering defections.

Kejriwal and his party leaders emphasized that AAP had supported and elevated these MPs, with strong backing from Punjab voters who sent them to the Rajya Sabha. They expressed anger that despite public trust, the leaders chose to switch allegiance.

The AAP leadership also accused the BJP of attempting to destabilize the government in Punjab led by Bhagwant Mann. They claimed that efforts were underway at the national level to weaken the state administration, warning that such political strategies would face resistance from the public.
