Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh escalated the political battle over the defection of party MPs, announcing that he has filed a petition before the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha and the Vice President of India seeking termination of the membership of seven MPs who merged with the BJP.
“After consulting with all the experts and seeking the opinion of (Independent MP and former Union Law Minister) Kapil Sibal, I have sent a petition to the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha and the Vice President of India, requesting that the membership of these seven members be completely terminated, as per the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution," Singh said.
The development follows a major setback for AAP after seven of its Rajya Sabha MPs, including Raghav Chadha, joined the BJP.
