Three Punjab AAP MLAs Resign and Join BJP Ahead of 2027 Assembly Elections
Two Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs from Punjab's Patiala district, Harmeet Singh Pathanmajra and Chetan Singh Jouramajra, resigned following their exclusion from AAP's first candidate list for the 2027 Assembly elections. They criticized the party's leadership and governance, particularly on drug issues and corruption. Along with Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh, a former IPS officer and suspended MLA, they joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Delhi. The AAP has sought cancellation of their assembly memberships, while BJP welcomed the defections ahead of the polls.
