Raghav Chadha, Six MPs Defect to BJP, Citing 'Toxic AAP'

Raghav Chadha, a prominent Rajya Sabha MP, along with six other Members of Parliament, recently defected from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Chadha stated he left his career for politics, not for power, and cited a "toxic work environment" within AAP as his primary reason for the switch. He further alleged that the party, which he co-founded, is now controlled by "corrupt and compromised people" who prioritize personal gain over national interest. Chadha, formerly a Chartered Accountant, dedicated 15 years to AAP, serving as a national spokesperson and treasurer. This mass defection significantly impacts AAP's strength in the Rajya Sabha.
