If they are, where is Sandeep Jakhar (suspended Abohar MLA)? Why did Raj Kumar Chabbewal leave the party?&#8221; Chabbewal, who is now an AAP MP, had switched over from the Congress last year.<\/p>\n<p>Kang said Bajwa&#8217;s own brother, Fatehjang Bajwa, joined the BJP and he could not stop him. &#8220;Meanwhile, Congress leaders, MLAs and former legislators are continuously leaving the party.
