In a sharp critique of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), senior leader Raghav Chadha on Saturday questioned the mass exodus of seven party MPs, stating, 'Not all seven MPs can be wrong.' Chadha alleged that under Arvind Kejriwal's leadership, AAP has become 'toxic' and its leaders are no longer working for the country but for their own vested interests.
Chadha's allegations against AAP
Speaking to the media, Chadha, who recently resigned from the party, claimed that the internal environment of AAP has deteriorated significantly. 'The party has strayed from its original ideals. Leaders are now focused on personal gains rather than public service,' he said. He further accused the party leadership of fostering a culture of fear and sycophancy.
Exodus of MPs
The departure of seven Members of Parliament from AAP in recent weeks has raised questions about the party's stability. Chadha's remarks come amid growing dissent within the party ranks. Political analysts view this as a major setback for AAP ahead of the upcoming elections.
Chadha, a prominent face of the party, had earlier been a vocal supporter of Kejriwal. His exit and subsequent criticism are seen as a significant blow to AAP's image. The party, however, has dismissed the allegations, calling them baseless and politically motivated.
The BJP has seized on the developments, with leaders accusing AAP of internal chaos and mismanagement. 'The exodus of MPs reflects the growing disillusionment within AAP,' said a BJP spokesperson. The political landscape in Delhi and other states where AAP has a presence is likely to witness shifts as the party grapples with internal strife.
