New Delhi, Apr 24 (PTI) AAP leader Sanjay Singh on Friday slammed the party’s Rajya Sabha members’ defection as a work of the BJP under ‘Operation Lotus’, and said that the people of Punjab will not forgive the seven who quit.
Addressing a press conference after the mass defection to the BJP, Singh accused the party of conspiring to obstruct the Bhagwant Mann government’s good work in Punjab.
The people of Punjab will never forgive the MPs who deserted the Aam Aadmi Party, Singh said.
In a massive jolt to the AAP on Friday, seven of its Rajya Sabha MPs, including Raghav Chadha, Sandeep Pathak, and Ashok Mittal, quit the party.
In a press conference he held with Chadha, Pathak announced the decision to join the BJP.
Chadha said that nearly two-thirds – seven of 10 – of AAP’s Rajya Sabha MPs had quit the party and would join the BJP as a faction.
