Raghav Chadha Joins BJP, Sparks Major Shift In Rajya Sabha Numbers

A major political shift unfolded in New Delhi on Friday, April 24, 2026, as Raghav Chadha, along with fellow Rajya Sabha MPs Ashok Mittal and Sandeep Pathak, officially joined the Bharatiya Janata Party after resigning from the Aam Aadmi Party. The leaders were inducted into the BJP in the presence of party chief Nitin Nabin at the party office in Delhi, where they were welcomed with bouquets and greeted senior party members. Earlier in the day, Chadha, aged 37, announced his resignation from AAP along with six other MPs, stating their intention to merge with the BJP by invoking constitutional provisions that allow such a move when two-thirds of a party’s members agree. The group submitted a formal letter along with required documents to Rajya Sabha Chairman C. P. Radhakrishnan. With seven out of ten AAP MPs in the Rajya Sabha switching sides, the anti-defection law is unlikely to apply. As a result, only three AAP MPs—Sanjay Singh, Sant Balbir Singh Seechewal, and N. D. Gupta—remain in the Upper House. Chadha explained that his decision was driven by growing dissatisfaction with the party’s direction, stating that he increasingly felt like “the right person in the wrong party.” His exit comes after a series of developments, including his removal as Deputy Leader in the Rajya Sabha and replacement by Ashok Mittal. Reports also highlighted his absence from key opposition actions, refusal to sign certain notices, and exclusion from the party’s star campaigner list in multiple state elections. Meanwhile, Sandeep Pathak expressed emotional difficulty over leaving the party after a decade-long association. The move has triggered sharp reactions from AAP leadership. Senior leader Sanjay Singh accused the BJP of orchestrating defections through what he described as “Operation Lotus,” alleging misuse of state machinery and investigative agencies to weaken opposition parties. Arvind Kejriwal also reacted, stating that the development represents a betrayal of public trust, particularly ahead of the Punjab elections scheduled for early 2027, where AAP currently holds power. This high-profile political realignment is expected to significantly alter the balance of power in the Rajya Sabha, strengthening the BJP’s position while dealing a major setback to AAP’s parliamentary presence.
