Three AAP MLAs Join BJP; AAP Seeks Membership Cancellation in Punjab
Three Aam Aadmi Party MLAs—Harmeet Singh Pathanmajra, Chetan Singh Jouramajra, and Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh—left the party and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party in New Delhi on November 2, 2026. In response, AAP plans to approach the Punjab Assembly Speaker to seek cancellation of their Assembly memberships under the anti-defection provisions of the Constitution. The Speaker's decision will be pivotal in determining the legal and political consequences of this development ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections.
