New Delhi. Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha has finally announced his separation from Aam Aadmi Party. Not only this, Raghav Chadha has announced that he is going to merge two-thirds of the Aam Aadmi Party MPs in Rajya Sabha with BJP. This is a big blow for Arvind Kejriwal and his Aam Aadmi Party. Taking aim at the AAP leaders, Raghav Chadha said that because I was not involved in their crimes, I was not worthy of their friendship. Let us tell you that according to the rules, if after a split in a party, its MPs want to avoid disqualification from Parliament, then at least two-thirds of the party members should be together. At present, Aam Aadmi Party has 10 MPs in Rajya Sabha, out of which three are from Delhi and seven from Punjab. Of these, seven MPs are merging with BJP.

#WATCH Delhi: AAP leader Raghav Chadha said, “…we are merging with BJP. In the last 12 years, the BJP central government under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi has taken many such decisions which many leaders were afraid to take before today… The public has approved this leadership not once but thrice.… pic.twitter.com/wFcOxHB9zl

– Sandeep Pathak

Raghav Chadha said, the Aam Aadmi Party to which I nourished with my blood and sweat and gave 15 years of my youth, has today completely deviated from its principles and values. Now AAP is not working for the national interest but for its personal benefits. I have been feeling for a few years that I am the right man, in the wrong party. I announce today that I am moving away from Aam Aadmi Party and towards the people. I have been a founder member of AAP and all of us together tried to take this party to Delhi, Punjab and other states of the country. But today I am saying with great sorrow, pain and shame that the party which was formed with a vow to end corruption, is today badly trapped in the hands of corrupt people. That is why every patriotic man who was associated with you to serve Mother India has either left you or is leaving you.
