BJP MPs Raghav Chadha, Ashok Mittal, Sandeep Pathak, and Rajendra Gupta today met President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan to express concern over the alleged misuse of state machinery by the AAP-led government in Punjab. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Raghav Chadha accused the AAP-led Punjab government of using state machinery to target Rajya Sabha MPs who recently quit the party and joined the BJP.

 

He alleged that the Punjab government and the Aam Aadmi Party, driven by a spirit of revenge, are engaging in vendetta politics. Mr. Chadha said they apprised the President of these developments and conveyed their concerns. Meanwhile, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann also met President Droupadi Murmu in connection with the recent defection of seven AAP Rajya Sabha MPs to the BJP. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Mr. Mann said the merger of AAP MPs is unconstitutional and demanded their disqualification from the Rajya Sabha.
