2 AAP Corporators Join BJP In Gujarat, 1 Removed For Anti-Party Activities

With the latest development, the AAP's strength in the Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) has come down to 15.

Two corporators of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Gujarat's Surat city on Friday and one of them was removed from the former's primary membership for anti-party activities.

With the latest development, the AAP's strength in the Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) has come down to 15. The party won 27 seats in the 2021 urban body polls and 12 corporators have now joined the BJP.

Corporators Kanu Gedia and Alpesh Patel joined the BJP at a function, where they were welcomed into the fold with saffron scarfs and caps, less than a week after six AAP corporators had embraced saffron fold.

The AAP in a statement announced the removal of Gedia and corporator Rajesh Moradiya from all party posts and its primary membership.
