The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is witnessing a significant internal crisis as seven of its Rajya Sabha members have defected to the BJP, accusing the party of corruption and ideological decay. The rebellious group maintains their departure is not out of fear but dissatisfaction with AAP's current leadership.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann seeks a meeting with President Droupadi Murmu to discuss the recall of these members. Meanwhile, AAP leader Sanjay Singh asserts the defections violate anti-defection laws, deeming them unconstitutional. Raghav Chadha, leading the rebellion, claims there's no longer space for honesty within AAP.
In a humorous twist, social media parodies the political upheaval with memes, further intensifying public discourse. The BJP, meanwhile, targets AAP's Kejriwal over alleged misuse of funds for a mansion in Delhi, escalating the political feud. However, AAP leaders deny these claims, labeling them as fabricated.
