Rajya Sabha MP Vikramjit Singh Sahney, who quit AAP for BJP, said, "We took this decision seeing the [agrarian] crisis in Punjab...plight of farmers is deplorable...Punjab has a debt of ₹4,50,000 crore." "At least BJP is capable of doing much...but dialogue is the only way forward," Sahney added. Notably, seven Rajya Sabha MPs, including Raghav Chadha, exited AAP on Friday.
