Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann criticized former AAP leader Raghav Chadha for resigning from a directly elected Lok Sabha seat to join the Rajya Sabha, emphasizing the distinct responsibility of elected positions. Mann downplayed recent AAP Rajya Sabha members joining BJP as political shifts, asserting the party's focus on governance and upcoming 2027 Punjab elections. He cited examples like Arun Jaitley and Manmohan Singh to illustrate Rajya Sabha entries and dismissed allegations of money exchanges in nominations, challenging former MP Harbhajan Singh's claims.
