Raghav Chadha BJP joining MPs list: Politics has heated up after Raghav Chadha’s announcement of leaving AAP and joining BJP. He claimed that 7 more Rajya Sabha MPs will join BJP with him. Know the complete list and the impact of this big political development.
AAP Rajya Sabha MPs join BJP: There was a major political upheaval in the politics of Delhi and Punjab on Friday, when prominent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha announced his resignation from the party and joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
But what made this news bigger was the claim in which Raghav Chadha said that he is not going alone, but more than two-thirds of AAP MPs in Rajya Sabha are also going to merge with him into BJP. Raghav Chadha clearly said in the press conference that Aam Aadmi Party has now deviated from its basic principles and ideals. He said, “I am moving away from the Aam Aadmi Party and moving towards the people.” Now the biggest question is, who are those 7 MPs, who are going to join BJP along with Raghav Chadha?

- Sandeep Pathak : Sandeep Pathak, who is counted among the strategic faces of AAP, has also announced to join BJP along with Raghav Chadha. His role has been important in the election management of the party.
- Harbhajan Singh :The name of former Indian cricketer and Rajya Sabha MP Harbhajan Singh is also included in this list. His presence in Punjab politics has been symbolically important for AAP.
- Balbir Singh Seechewal : Balbir Singh Seechewal, known for environmental and social work, is also a Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab and his name has also come up in this possible merger.
- Vikramjit Singh Sahni : Vikramjit Singh Sahni, an industrialist and social worker, is also said to be a part of this list. He is also a Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab.
The biggest political setback for AAP?
If Raghav Chadha’s claim proves true, it will be considered the biggest political blow for the Aam Aadmi Party so far. This can have a direct impact on the party’s strength and political influence, especially in the Rajya Sabha. Its impact may become more clearly visible in the politics of Punjab and Delhi in the coming days.
“The right man in the wrong party”
During his resignation, Raghav Chadha said that he had given his blood and sweat to the party for 15 years, but now he started feeling that he had become the “right man in the wrong party”. He alleged that the party is now working for personal interests instead of national interest.
Now all eyes are on the official reaction of the Rajya Sabha Chairman and BJP. If this merger takes formal form, it could prove to be the biggest political development of 2026 in Indian politics. At present, political turmoil is intense within AAP and the question is, is this just the beginning?
