Swati Maliwal has officially joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), making serious allegations against Arvind Kejriwal, the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). This development comes as a significant shift within the political landscape, with Raghav Chadha and six other AAP members of the Rajya Sabha defecting from their party.
On April 24, 2026, in a dramatic turn of events, Chadha, Sandeep Pathak, Ashok Mittal, and four other Rajya Sabha MPs resigned from the AAP, contributing to a considerable jolt for the party. Maliwal, previously associated with the AAP, voiced her discontent with Kejriwal’s leadership, describing it in strongly negative terms.
The implications of these defections could reshape the dynamics within not only the AAP but also the broader political scenario in the country, as the BJP seeks to capitalize on these developments. This significant political maneuvering is expected to influence upcoming electoral strategies and alignments, particularly as parties prepare for future contests.
