CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: In a significant political development, Ashok Mittal, a Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), has joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), just 22 days after being appointed as the party’s deputy leader in the Upper House. Mittal had recently replaced Raghav Chadha in the Rajya Sabha leadership role, making his swift exit a notable shift in India’s political landscape.
The move is seen as part of a broader political churn within AAP, as multiple senior leaders, including Chadha, have also exited the party and aligned with the BJP. Reports indicate that nearly two-thirds of AAP’s Rajya Sabha MPs are part of this transition, signaling deep internal dissent and a major setback for the party’s parliamentary strength.
Political analysts view this development as a turning point that could reshape opposition dynamics at the national level. The sudden shift raises questions about AAP’s internal cohesion, leadership strategy, and future electoral prospects. Meanwhile, the BJP is likely to gain strength in the Rajya Sabha, potentially influencing legislative proceedings. The Event underscores ongoing shifts in India’s political landscape ahead of upcoming electoral challenges.
