Three former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) legislators, Harmeet Singh Pathanmajra, Chetan Singh Jauramajra, and Kunwar Vijay Partap Singh, have joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections. The resignations of Pathanmajra and Jauramajra came after their suspension from the AAP for alleged anti-party activities. Singh, who had been suspended from the AAP in June 2025, resigned from the Punjab Legislative Assembly. The AAP has requested the Assembly Speaker to disqualify the three from their legislative membership. The BJP is likely to field the three from the same constituencies they won in the 2022 Assembly elections.
AAP Delhi president Saurabh Bharadwaj criticised the BJP, saying the party had a habit of collecting 'trash'. He claimed that the BJP did not have enough candidates to contest the Punjab Assembly elections and described the party as having a 'hollow structure'. Bharadwaj said the AAP would not grant tickets to those whose candidacies they decided to drop, those who had received negative feedback.
