Raghav Chadha news highlights: Bharadwaj’s ‘big netas, deep pockets’ jibe after 7 AAP MPs defect
RAghav Chadha BJP merger highlights: Raghav Chadha, on with other Aam Aadmi company Rajya Sabha MPs, quit the company and merged with the BJP on fri. This comes years after Chadha was removed as AAP's deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha, with the party alleging that he had failed to raise key issues against the government.Chadha, while announcing the decision, said that the two-third members belonging to the AAP in Rajya Sabha are merging themselves with the BJP, thus exercising the provisions of the Constitution of India.Apart from Chadha, the six other AAP MPs merging with the BJP include Ashok Mittal, Sandeep Pathak, Harbhajan Singh, Rajinder Gupta, Vikram Sahney and Swati Maliwal. “They have signed and this morning we submitted the signed letter and documents to the Rajya Sabha chairman,” Chadha said at a press conference, wherein he was joined by Mittal and Pathak.Meanwhile, Aam Aadmi Party leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said he would seek the disqualification of Chadha, Mittal and Pathak from the Upper House for joining the BJP.Why will AAP MPs retain Rajya Sabha membership?Seven AAP MPs have taken the decision to quit together, thus ensuring that these MPs retain their Rajya Sabha membership.There are 10 AAP MPs in the Rajya Sabha and, according to Chadha, more than two-third of them are part of the decision — a figure needed for the MPs to retain their membership in the upper house. “As per the Constitution, two-thirds of the total MPs of a party can merge with another party,” Chadha said.‘Right man in the wrong party’: What Raghav Chadha saidAnnouncing the decision to merge with the BJP, Chadha said that he could “feel” that he was the “right man in the wrong party.” Chadha said he had nurtured AAP “with my blood and sweat,” but added that the party had “deviated from its principles, values and core morals.”“...For the past few years, I could feel that I am the right man in the wrong party,” Chadha said. He further added that he was not “eligible” for the AAP leadership's friendship “because I was not part of their crime.” “We had just two options - either quit politics and give up our public work in the last 15-16 years or we do positive politics with our energy and experience,” he said.
