The balance of power in the Rajya Sabha shifted sharply today after a large section of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) moved to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The change is not incremental. It alters how easily legislation can move through the House. Seven of AAP's ten MPs in the Upper House, led by Raghav Chadha, have formally merged with the BJP. The move meets the two-thirds requirement under the Tenth Schedule, which means they avoid disqualification.
In effect, a coordinated shift, immediate and decisive.
