- Hazare said the MPs would not have left if AAP had been functioning properly.
- Chadha claimed seven of AAP’s 10 Rajya Sabha MPs have merged with the BJP.
- The move follows Chadha’s removal as AAP deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha.
Social activist Anna Hazare on Friday commented on the departure of Raghav Chadha and six other Rajya Sabha MPs from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), saying the exits suggest internal problems within the party.
Speaking to reporters in Ahilyanagar district, Maharashtra, Hazare said, “Everyone has the right to hold an opinion in a democracy. They must have faced difficulties, which is why they left.”
He added that the responsibility lay with the party leadership. “Had the party followed the right path, they would not have left,” he said.
Hazare repeated that the departures indicated dissatisfaction within the party. “There must be some reason for leaving. In a democracy, every person has the right to decide where to stay and where to go,” he added. |
