AAP needs to rethink its working: Malvinder Singh King questions leadership amid MPs BJP shift

PTC News Desk: A day after Raghav Chadha along with six other MPs switched sides, Malvinder Kang too has questioned the Aam Admi Party's working, signaling another possible defection. 

AAP MP Malvinder Singh Kang pointed out that Aam Aadmi Party needs to rethink upon its strategy and and exercise in a democratic manner where everyone is heard having equal say.

'It's time that AAP better start working like a political party,' Kang said. 

He further added that this alone can contain defections from materialising accompanied by better coordination by the party leadership with all leaders, including MPs, MLAs and other leaders.

While asserting that these defections are less likely to impact upcoming Assembly elections in 2027, the party needs to remain vigilant. 

Reacting to Sandeep Pathak's sudden exit, he said that the AAP leader would not have switched sided had the party remained in touch with him and he would not have been sidelined. No one in the party was in touch with him, reiterating that power should be divided and not concentrated in one hand. 

“Sandeep Pathak would have never quit the party… had the party leadership stayed in touch with him. No one in the party was in touch with him for a year,” he said, adding that Chadha got unbridled power and misused it. “Ideally, the power should be distributed and not concentrated in a few hands,” he said.
