NEW DELHI:  In a massive jolt to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday, its Rajya Sabha MPs including Raghav Chadha, Sandeep Pathak and Ashok Mittal quit the party.

Addressing a joint press conference, Pathak said he was going to join the BJP. However, Chadha said that nearly two-thirds of AAP’s Rajya Sabha MPs have quit the party and will join the BJP as a faction.

Chadha said several Rajya Sabha MPs including disgruntled party leader Swati Maliwal and Harbhajan Singh have also quit AAP.
