Raghav Chadha's rift with AAP

The light-hearted moment is relevant again amid the ongoing public rift between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its Rajya Sabha MP, Chadha. AAP earlier removed him as Deputy Leader in the Upper House. He has been replaced by Ashok Mittal.

AAP leaders, including Saurabh Bharadwaj and Anurag Dhanda, have accused Chadha of raising“soft” issues in Parliament instead of targeting the BJP on key national matters. He has also been criticised for allegedly skipping opposition walkouts and not signing an impeachment motion against the Chief Election Commissioner.

The party further questioned his absence during the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal in 2024. Chadha was reportedly abroad for medical treatment at that time.

Chadha denied skipping parliamentary actions. According to him, concerns like water crisis, pollution and gig workers' rights are important.

The dispute has now turned into a public war of words, with the party seeking to limit his speaking role in Parliament.

One user commented,“All the rumours of his departure from AAP were true. I won't be surprised if he gets included into BJP. The Punjab election and the general election are both on target. May be a personal milestone for Raghav Chadha. A ticket in election or may be ministry!”

“(Raghav Chadha) ran away to London when AAP needed him the most, stayed there when top leadership was in jail, didn't raise any issue relevant to AAP when asked and focused on personal PR only. Raghav Chadha will most probably join the BJP before the Punjab Elections,” came from another.
