Seven Rajya Sabha MPs quitting together is a structural rupture inside Aam Aadmi Party. 

From Raghav Chadha’s distancing to the exit of key organisational architects like Sandeep Pathak, this episode traces how AAP moved from a high-moral insurgency in 2015 to a party battling credibility, governance questions, and leadership centralisation. 

Anirban Chowdhury and ET’s Nidhi Sharma examine its real delivery—schools, clinics, welfare—alongside its biggest missteps: Sheeshmahal, Yamuna, and the excise policy. 

With Punjab now its last stronghold, the question is stark: can AAP still course-correct, or is this the beginning of a slow political unravelling?
