AAP’s Baltej Pannu Accuses Amit Shah of Attempting to Poach MPs; Claims Raghav Chadha is Being Used as a ‘Tool’

Chandigarh : Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab General Secretary, Baltej Pannu, has leveled serious allegations against Union Home Minister Amit Shah, claiming a deliberate plot is underway to destabilize the party by poaching its Members of Parliament (MPs).

 Allegations :

• Targeting Rajya Sabha MPs: Pannu alleged that the BJP leadership is actively attempting to engineer a split within AAP by targeting its Rajya Sabha members.

• 

• The "Tool" Controversy: In a startling claim, Pannu suggested that senior AAP leader Raghav Chadha is being used as a "tool" in this alleged political strategy to lure other MPs away.

• Pressure Tactics: The AAP leader further claimed that central investigative agencies are being used as instruments of pressure to influence and intimidate party lawmakers into switching sides.

• Internal Destabilization: Pannu criticized the move as an attempt to weaken the party’s organizational structure from within, asserting that those the party elevated are now being manipulated to act against its interests.

Political Context:

These remarks come at a time of heightened friction between the AAP and the BJP-led Central Government. AAP has consistently accused the Centre of using "Operation Lotus" to topple opposition governments, while the BJP has dismissed these claims as baseless political drama intended to divert attention from internal party rifts.
