Chada said the delegation drew strength from the President’s assurance that democratic choices and constitutional rights must be respected
Sharpening his attack, Chadha accused the AAP of engaging in vendetta politics, alleging that the party was now acting out of bitterness following the defections
Addressing reporters after the meeting, Chadha claimed that MPs who chose to dissent and leave AAP were now being branded as corrupt and subjected to intimidation
He alleged that since their merger with the BJP, multiple leaders have faced coercive action from state agencies
Warning the Punjab government, Chadha said using agencies like the police, vigilance department, and Pollution Board for political revenge could have serious consequences.
