Lok Sabha Polls 2024: Big jolt to AAP | More than 20 AAP leaders joins BJP under leadership of Sunil Jakhar
Lok Sabha Polls 2024: In a significant setback to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) more than 20 prominent leaders of AAP joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) under the leadership of Sunil Jakhar ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
The defection of over 20 AAP leaders to the BJP indicates a shift in political allegiances and poses challenges for AAP's organizational strength and electoral prospects.
The move could potentially strengthen the BJP's position in the region where AAP had been making inroads.
