Days after switching from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Sandeep Pathak is facing
two FIRs in Punjab for serious allegations including harassment and corruption. Filed under
non-bailable sections, the FIRs have sparked controversy as the Punjab Police intensifies efforts to apprehend him.
Pathak, who has recently become a BJP member, claims to be
unaware of the FIRs and stated,
"The police have not contacted me". Despite the charges, he expressed pride in his integrity, remarking,
"The country is bigger than any party - I will never betray it, nor allow anyone else to do so". Observers note that these events may complicate his political shift during a turbulent period ahead of the 2027 Punjab elections.
The FIR registration comes amid accusations of
"vendetta politics" orchestrated by the AAP in response to Pathak’s departure, as he joins the ranks of seven other Rajya Sabha MPs who shifted allegiance to the BJP. Although the rationale behind the FIRs remains unclear, critics suggest this is a calculated move against him, significantly undermining AAP's position in the state.
Analysts are keenly observing how this development will impact the political landscape and the upcoming elections, particularly as many criticize Pathak for his abrupt party switch.
