In a big jolt to the Aam Aadmi Party on Friday, three of its Rajya Sabha MPs, including Raghav Chadha, Sandeep Pathak and Ashok Mittal, quit the party and joined the BJP in presence of Nitin Nabin at party headquarters in Delhi. Earlier in the day while addressing a press conference, Raghav Chadha, flanked by Pathak and Mittal, said that two-thirds of the Aam Aadmi Party's Rajya Sabha MPs have quit the party and will join the BJP as a faction. Raghav Chadha said that party MPs Harbhajan Singh and Swati Maliwal are also quitting the AAP. "AAP, that I nurtured with my blood and sweat and to which I gave 15 years of my youth, has completely strayed from its principles, values and core morals," he said. Raghav Chadha was recently removed as the deputy leader of AAP in the Rajya Sabha and was replaced by Mittal in the Upper House.
