In a significant political development, Raghav Chadha, the prominent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab, has been removed from his position as the Deputy Leader of AAP in the Rajya Sabha. The party has appointed Ashok Mittal as his replacement.
The move also reportedly includes a restriction on Chadha’s speaking time from the party’s quota in Parliament, signaling a notable reshuffle in AAP’s parliamentary strategy.
Reacting to the change, Chadha shared a video message asserting that he is “silenced, not defeated”, emphasizing his continued commitment to raising public issues and voicing concerns on behalf of citizens.
Political analysts suggest that this change reflects internal tensions within AAP, with Chadha’s absence from recent major party activities possibly contributing to the leadership decision. Once considered a young and rising face of the party, Chadha’s current sidelining has sparked widespread discussion about his future role and influence in AAP.
Chadha, a former Delhi MLA and vice-chairman of the Delhi Jal Board, has gained attention nationally for his active participation in Parliament and vocal engagement on social issues.
As AAP reorganizes its leadership within the Rajya Sabha, observers are closely watching how this development will impact the party’s strategy and Chadha’s political trajectory in the coming months.
