Punjab BJP working President Ashwani Sharma expressed worry over the exit of two-thirds of AAP Rajya Sabha MPs, questioning Arvind Kejriwal’s leadership style.

Sharma also condemned the mistreatment of Swati Maliwal and controversies involving Raghav Chadha, emphasizing these as significant concerns.
