The AAP's Rajya Sabha arithmetic witnessed a massive shake-up with the move, reducing the party's tally in the House to only three.Of the seven MPs who quit the party, six were from Punjab, leaving behind just one lawmaker from the state for AAP - Balbir Singh Seechewal.Raghav Chadha blames AAP's ‘toxic’ work environmentRaghav Chadha continued to keep up his attack on the AAP on Monday, releasing a new video detailing reasons for leaving the party he had co-founded and was associated with for years.“I gave this party 15 years of my prime youth…However, this party is longer the same. You're stopped for doing your work, from speaking in Parliament. This party is now caught up in the hands of a corrupt few who work for personal gains. I felt like I was the right person in the wrong party,” Chadha said. Chadha also said that he contemplated other moves, like leaving politics altogether or staying in AAP and trying to “fix it”, before he finally decided to join hands with the BJP.
