AAP Punjab has issued a sharp political statement following reports that several Rajya Sabha Members of Parliament have joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). According to AAP Punjab leader Malvinder Singh Kang, the move is being seen as motivated by personal and business interests rather than ideology or public service.
In his statement shared on the AAP Punjab social media platform, Malvinder Singh Kang alleged that the MPs who switched sides were trying to protect their private interests and commercial engagements. He further said that although these leaders were given respect and position within their previous party, their decision amounts to “betrayal of trust.”
