Not all, but switchover of four AAP MPs to BJP cause surprise

This of RS MPs comes just a little over 14 months after AAP faced a rout on its homeground Delhi and when the party is bracing itself for a tough battle to save its govt in Punjab. The “defection” takes away the bounce the party enjoyed following Kejriwal’s discharge in the liquor case. The departures, besides denting AAP’s presence in Parliament also brings out its vulnerability as it now faces the big challenge of keeping its flock together — MLAs in Punjab ahead of the 2027 assembly.
