The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal called the BJP an immoral and unethical party, accusing it of dismantling other political parties. His comments came against the backdrop of the recent rebellion that has split the Trinamool Congress in West Bengal. “Whatever the BJP is doing -- breaking political parties, weakening the Opposition, misusing the ED and misusing money -- is very harmful for democracy, and everyone should raise their voice against it,” the former Delhi Chief Minister said.
Adding further, he mentioned that such developments weaken the structure of Indian democracy.

A few days later, 20 rebel TMC MPs in the Lok Sabha met Speaker Om Birla seeking a separate seating arrangement in the House, while announcing the bloc's merger with the little-known Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI).
"What is happening is wrong. If people voted for the Trinamool Congress and elected its 28 or 29 MPs because they believed in the party, and then 20 or 22 of them are lured away and made to support some unknown party, that is simply not right," Kejriwal said. When he was asked about former AAP MP Raghav Chadha’s switch to the BJP, he called it unfortunate. In April, seven of its 10 Rajya Sabha members, including Chadha, joined the BJP.
Meanwhile, Kejriwal also expressed his views on the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP). He called the CJP a good party. CJP, a satirical youth-led movement, has launched a campaign demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, alleging systemic failures in the education sector, particularly concerns surrounding the NEET-UG 2026 "paper-leak" controversy.
