Rajya Sabha Chairman CP Radhakrishnan has accepted the merger of seven AAP MPs, including Raghav Chadha, into the BJP. The move has boosted the BJP's tally in Rajya Sabha to 113.

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju welcomed the new MPs, praising them for their good conduct in Parliament. Raghav Chadha, who had announced his departure from AAP on April 24, cited a 'toxic' work environment as the reason for his exit.

Chadha released a video detailing his reasons for leaving AAP, stating that he felt like he was in the wrong party. He also questioned whether seven people could be wrong, and asked what people would do if their workplace was toxic.
