The Aam Aadmi Party suffered a political setback in Punjab on Thursday as three of its MLAs resigned and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party, according to the information provided.

The development comes at a crucial time for the AAP, which is facing a political challenge ahead of the 2027 Punjab Assembly elections, due early next year.

The resignations and subsequent switch to the BJP have added to the pressure on the ruling party in the state, though no further details were provided.
