In a fiery address, AAP’s Sanjay Singh announced that seven Rajya Sabha members, including high-profile names, who ditched the party for BJP, are on the brink of disqualification. Speaking to reporters in Delhi, the MP invoked the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution, backed by opinions from legal luminaries like Kapil Sibal.
‘The petition seeks complete cancellation of their memberships. We urge the Chairman for swift action,’ Singh declared. This development strikes at the heart of Punjab’s electoral trust, where these MPs were sent to Parliament on AAP’s promise of clean governance.
Singh didn’t mince words on the tactics involved: ‘ED and CBI are weaponized to engineer defections, a BJP specialty. This undermines democracy and the people’s mandate.’ He advocated for ethical exits—resign before switching sides—contrasting it with the current ‘backstabbing’.
Drawing parallels to Supreme Court rulings in defecting states, Singh remained hopeful. ‘Delays frustrate, but justice prevails. We’ll pursue every legal avenue.’
Dismissing whispers about Raghav Chadha’s involvement, he called it ‘malicious BJP propaganda’. Protests rage across Punjab, with citizens decrying the traitors. As the petition awaits adjudication, this saga tests India’s commitment to anti-defection laws and parliamentary loyalty.
