Massive political earthquake! 🚨 Raghav Chadha and 6 other AAP Rajya Sabha MPs just joined the BJP. But wait... why aren’t they being disqualified? ⚖️
Here is the quick Constitutional breakdown:
🛑 The Anti-Defection Law (10th Schedule):
Normally, if an MP switches parties after being elected, they are disqualified and lose their seat.
🧠 The 2/3rd Loophole:
There is a massive legal exception! If at least two-thirds (2/3) of a party’s legislators merge with another party, the anti-defection penalty does NOT apply.
🧮 The Math:
AAP had exactly 10 MPs in the Rajya Sabha. Because 7 of them (including Chadha, Sandeep Pathak, and Swati Maliwal) jumped ship together, they easily crossed that 6.66 threshold! 🤯
They keep their seats, legally bypassing the 10th Schedule, and the political landscape changes overnight!
