Around two‑thirds of the Aam Aadmi Party's Rajya Sabha MPs have announced their decision to merge with the BJP, triggering questions over leadership fissures and the anti‑defection law. The focus now is on whether the move qualifies as a valid merger under constitutional provisions or could invite disqualification. The MPs who switched sides have cited political disillusionment and differences with the party leadership, even as AAP contests their actions and weighs its legal options.
