By Sunday, personnel from the Central Reserve Police Force were seen deployed outside his house. The development quickly became a talking point in Punjab politics."},{"text":"Meanwhile, AAP workers staged protests outside the homes of Harbhajan Singh and other leaders who defected to the BJP, branding them as “traitors.” Demonstrations were reported in Ludhiana and Jalandhar against Harbhajan Singh, Ashok Mittal, and Rajinder Gupta."},{"text":"Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann strongly criticised the defectors, accusing them of betraying the people of Punjab. He labelled the seven leaders who switched sides as “gaddars” and alleged that the BJP was trying to weaken Punjab’s mandate."},{"text":"The political exodus from AAP to BJP reportedly included Raghav Chadha, Sandeep Pathak, Harbhajan Singh, Ashok Mittal, Rajinder Gupta, Swati Maliwal, and Vikramjit Sahney.
