Rebel Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MPs, including Raghav Chadha, Sandeep Pathak, Rajender Gupta and Ashok Mittal, met President Droupadi Murmu on Tuesday morning and alleged misuse of Punjab government machinery to target them after they moved to the Bharatiya Janata Party.The Rajya Sabha MPs, all from Punjab, said the AAP was acting like a “jilted ex” rather than a political party.In a post after meeting the President, Chadha said, “Honoured to meet the Hon’ble President of India this morning, along with three fellow MPs.”He said the MPs conveyed how the AAP-led Punjab government was allegedly misusing state machinery to target them for exercising their constitutional rights after two-thirds of the party’s MPs chose to merge with the BJP.“The party that once cried vendetta is now practising its most toxic form. We take strength from the President’s assurance that constitutional rights and democratic choices must be respected,” Chadha said.“AAP today behaves less like a political party and more like an obsessed, jilted ex — bitter, vindictive, and unable to move on.”The meeting of the rebel MPs, who recently defected and merged with the BJP, took place ahead of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s scheduled engagement with the President later in the day.
