AAP’s Sanjay Singh accuses BJP of “Operation Lotus” after Raghav Chadha’s statement triggers political controversy and allegations of defections.
In a fresh political development that has intensified tensions between the ruling and opposition camps, remarks attributed to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Raghav Chadha about several Rajya Sabha MPs reportedly aligning with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have triggered a sharp response from senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh.
Singh accused the BJP of orchestrating what he described as the “Operation Lotus,” alleging that the move was aimed at destabilizing the AAP and undermining its governance in Punjab.
Sanjay Singh’s Strong Reaction
Reacting to the controversy, AAP MP Sanjay Singh launched a scathing attack on the BJP, claiming that the party is attempting to “break” AAP lawmakers through pressure tactics and political influence. He alleged that seven Rajya Sabha MPs associated with AAP have been “poached” and accused them of betraying Punjab.
Singh stated that this was not just a political shift but a deliberate attempt under the so-called Operation Lotus strategy to weaken opposition parties. According to him, Operation Lotus is being used as a tool to influence elected representatives and disrupt stable governments.
He further said that the people of Punjab would remember those who allegedly switched sides, and described the situation as a betrayal of public trust.
Allegations of Political Conspiracy
Sanjay Singh also linked the developments to what he called a larger conspiracy against the AAP government in Punjab led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. He alleged that Operation Lotus is being used to stop the party’s developmental work in the state.

He claimed that investigative agencies were being misused to create pressure on opposition leaders. Singh referred to recent enforcement actions, including raids, suggesting that such steps were part of a broader attempt to intimidate leaders and facilitate Operation Lotus.
According to him, “fear tactics” were being used to influence political decisions, and this was directly impacting the functioning of elected representatives.
Focus on Punjab Politics
The AAP leader emphasized that Punjab has become a key battleground in national politics, and the alleged political realignment of MPs is being seen as a serious development within the party. He insisted that Operation Lotus is not just about individual defections but part of a structured political strategy aimed at weakening opposition strength in Parliament and state politics.
Singh also reiterated that the AAP remains committed to its governance agenda in Punjab and would not be deterred by what he described as “political engineering.”
BJP Yet to Respond
As of now, there has been no official response from the BJP regarding the allegations made by Sanjay Singh or the claims surrounding Raghav Chadha’s statement. The situation continues to generate political debate, with both sides exchanging sharp accusations.
Rising Political Temperature
The controversy has once again brought attention to the term Operation Lotus, which opposition parties often use to allege attempts of engineering defections. With the latest remarks from AAP leaders, Operation Lotus has become the focal point of the political confrontation, especially in the context of Punjab politics.
Political analysts suggest that if such claims continue to surface, they could further deepen the confrontation between AAP and BJP at both state and national levels.
