The smart move by Raghav Chadha and other AAP MPs

Legal experts say the Tenth Schedule allows a two-thirds majority of a legislature party to merge with another party. This means joining the BJP by seven AAP Rajya Sabha MPs led by Raghav Chadha would not violate anti-defection laws. The Supreme Court has previously upheld this provision. Experts suggest the Tenth Schedule is ineffective and should be replaced.
