NEW DELHI: Days after an open rift with the Aam Aadmi Party leadership, Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha resigned from the party. Chadha, along with other two Rajya MPs, Sandeep Pathak and Ashok Mittal, on Friday announced that the three were breaking away from AAP and joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).“The Aam Aadmi Party, which I nurtured with my blood and sweat and to which I gave 15 years of my youth, has now completely deviated from its principles, values, and core morals. The party is no longer working for the country or in the national interest, but for personal gain,” Chadha said during the press conference.“Many of you have been telling me this for the past few years, and I too have personally felt that I am the right man in the wrong party. I repeat, ‘I am the right man in the wrong party.’ Therefore, today I announce that I am distancing myself from the Aam Aadmi Party and going to the people,” Chadha said.“We, two-thirds of the Members of Parliament belonging to the Aam Aadmi Party in the Rajya Sabha, will exercise the provisions of the Constitution of India and merge with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP),” Chadha announced.
