Raghav Chadha ‘kept on pedestal’, Sandeep Pathak ‘ignored’: An AAP insider reveals what led to exit of MPs
In a shock to the Aam Aadmi Party, Raghav Chadha, along with 6 other Rajya Sabha MPs, quit the Arvind Kejriwal-led party on Friday, and merged with the BJP. Those who left with Chadha are the group of seven lawmakers including six from Punjab – Chadha himself, Ashok Mittal, Sandeep Pathak, Rajinder Gupta, Vikram Sahney and Harbhajan Singh – and one from Delhi, MP Swati Maliwal. A day after the AAP MPs made the big move, party's chief spokesperson and Anandpur Sahib MP Malwinder Singh Kang said that AAP gave too much power to Chadha and ignored Sandeep Pathak.
