AAP Faces Biggest Split In 15 Years As Raghav Chadha, Other MPs Exit Party

The Aam Aadmi Party is facing its biggest internal crisis in 15 years after Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha and six others quit the party. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal responded with an "all the best" message to the departing leaders, while senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh said the party would seek their disqualification under the anti‑defection law. Protests by party supporters have erupted in Punjab and Mumbai, as AAP alleges attempts to poach its MPs-claims rejected by the rebel leaders, who say the party has drifted from its core ideals.
