AAP MP Sanjay Singh attacks Shiv Sena rebels for joining rival party amid investigation pressure
In remarks made on June 17, AAP MP Sanjay Singh criticized members of Shiv Sena (UBT) who are reportedly defecting to another party, characterizing their departures as motivated by fear of investigative agencies including the ED and CBI. According to ThePrint's coverage of Singh's statement, he argued that party members are abandoning their organization and constituents rather than facing legal scrutiny. Singh framed this as a betrayal of the party's founding principles, invoking the legacy of Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray and calling the defections an act of cowardice incompatible with the Shiv Sainik identity.
