Chandigarh,: Amid the continued political turmoil throughout the Aam Aadmi Social gathering (AAP), Rajya Sabha MP Balbir Singh Seechewal on Sunday claimed that he was approached by defecting MPs to hitch their proposed “Azaad group,” however he firmly declined.
In line with Seechewal, fellow Rajya Sabha MP Vikramjit Singh Sahney, who’s among the many seven leaders who not too long ago switched to the Bharatiya Janata Social gathering, had contacted him with the proposal. Nevertheless, Seechewal mentioned he selected to stick with AAP, reiterating his dedication to the get together.
Expressing robust disappointment over the event, he termed the mass exit of MPs as a “betrayal,” stating that the get together had despatched them to the Rajya Sabha to symbolize Punjab’s voice on the nationwide stage.
The disaster erupted after seven out of AAP’s ten Rajya Sabha MPs — together with Raghav Chadha, Ashok Mittal, Sandeep Pathak, Harbhajan Singh, Rajendra Gupta, Vikramjit Singh Sahney and Swati Maliwal — resigned and joined the BJP, alleging that AAP had drifted away from its core rules.
