On Saturday, CPI(M) General Secretary MA Baby launched a scathing criticism against the Bharatiya Janata Party, blaming it for orchestrating political defections with the aid of central agencies following electoral failures.

Baby took to social media platform X, accusing the BJP of employing a 'raid-defect-reset' strategy in states where it fails to win elections. The tactic, he argues, disregards democratic principles.

The recent transitions of several AAP leaders to BJP have brought this issue to the forefront, highlighting the ideological rift Baby insists is vital in political arenas.
