What are the political implications of 7 AAP MPs ‘merging’ with BJP?
Friday, 1 May, 2026

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is facing a crisis. Seven of its 10 MPs in the Rajya Sabha, led by Raghav Chadha, have joined the BJP. Mr Chadha has framed this move as a “merger” with the BJP. Rajya Sabja Chairman C.P. Radhakrishnan has already accepted the ‘merger’ claim. AAP’s strength in the Rajya Sabha has dwindled from 10 to 3.  AAP leaders have called this merger ‘illegal’. They want the seven MPs to be disqualified under the anti-defection provisions of the law. It is expected that they will take the matter to court.  Are the anti-defection provisions of the Tenth Schedule inadequate? Will a legal challenge from AAP prove successful? And what are the political implications of this loss for the AAP in Punjab? We speak with political commentator Neerja Chowdhury. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
