Former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Raghav Chadha, along with six other former AAP leaders announced that they have joined Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and is now set to meet with BJP National President Nitin Nabin at his office in Delhi.

The meeting will take place at 5 PM today.

Raghav Chadha has announced that he will join the Bharatiya Janata Party, along with two-thirds of the Aam Aadmi Party MPs in the Rajya Sabha, in a move seen as a significant setback for former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, coming weeks after his reported demotion within the party.

Addressing a press conference on Friday, Chadha said, “We have decided that we, the two-thirds members belonging to the AAP in Rajya Sabha, exercise the provisions of the Constitution of India and merge ourselves with the BJP.”
