Denouncing the move by seven Rajya Sabha members who recently quit the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and announced their merger with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the AAP’s leader in the Upper House Sanjay Singh on Sunday (April 26, 2026) submitted a petition to Rajya Sabha Chairman C. P. Radhakrishnan seeking their disqualification.

Mr. Singh, addressing a press conference, said the move by the Raghav Chadha-led group was against the provisions of the anti-defection law. The party urged the Chairman to terminate their memberships underlining that they were elected to the Upper House on AAP tickets but later decided to leave the party and join the BJP.
