Three Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs linked to the party’s Punjab unit move away from AAP within two days, with Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh resigning as an MLA and two others having already left the party’s primary membership. Reports say the changes come as AAP seeks to retain its position ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections.
NDTV and Times of India focus on the resignation of suspended AAP MLA Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh, including that his resignation letter becomes effective from November 1, 2026. The Times of India also notes he does not state a future political plan. Meanwhile, Free Press Journal highlights the wider “triple” shift: Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh’s resignation alongside the exits of Harmeet Singh Pathanmajra and Chetan Singh Jouramajra, described as fast-moving and linked to differences with AAP leadership.
Across outlets, the broader context is Punjab election season and instability for AAP, while the reported destination for at least some of the legislators is the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in New Delhi. Free Press Journal frames the moment as a major setback for AAP and repeatedly references the leaders’ public induction-related appearances.
