IN a major setback for the AAP, three of its councillors joined the BJP on Wednesday, just a day before the crucial election for a seat on the MCD's Standing Committee.

The three councillors, Preeti from Dilshad Colony Garden, Sarita Phogat from Green Park and Praveen Kumar from Madanpur Khadar were inducted into the party in the presence of state BJP president Virendra Sachdeva, Union Minister of State Harsh Malhotra, and MCD Leader of Opposition Raja Iqbal Singh.
