AAP’s Breaking Point: The Exit of Seven

About this episode

The episode discusses the structural changes within the Aam Aadmi Party following the exit of seven Rajya Sabha MPs and examines the party's challenges and missteps.

Seven Rajya Sabha MPs quitting together is a structural rupture inside Aam Aadmi Party.  From Raghav Chadha’s distancing to the exit of key organisational architects like Sandeep Pathak, this episode traces how AAP moved from a high-moral insurgency in 2015 to a party battling credibility, governance questions, and leadership centralisation.  Anirban Chowdhury and ET’s Nidhi Sharma examine its real delivery—schools, clinics, welfare—alongside its biggest missteps: Sheeshmahal, Yamuna, and the excise policy.  With Punjab now its last stronghold, the question is stark: can AAP still course-correct, or is this the beginning of a slow political unravelling?
