AAP rebel Vikramjit Singh Sahney met Arvind Kejriwal, revealing plans to join BJP and discussing party strategy.

Vikramjit Singh Sahney disclosed his intentions to join the BJP during a meeting with AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday. Sahney emphasized that even minor resignations would jeopardize the party's integrity concerning the anti-defection law.

Sahney noted, "I told him, even if one-two MPs resign, then the two-thirds figure will be achieved with just 5 MPs." His comments underscore a critical point: the two-thirds threshold is vital to avoid disqualifications under constitutional rules governing party defections.

Former party MPs, including Rajya Sabha Member Raghav Chadha, allege that this movement is strategic cover for members aiming to exit to the BJP. They highlight the concern that current political maneuvers might undermine the party’s stability and representation for Punjab, which Sahney claims to prioritize, stating, "We are standing for Punjab and Punjabis." Furthermore, he mentioned a recent meeting with Amit Shah concerning Punjab's issues, affirming his allegiance to the region amid rising defection speculations. The political implications of these shifts could reshape AAP's strength in both Punjab and national contexts.
