Raghav Chadha Removed from AAP Leadership Role
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) removed MP Raghav Chadha as the deputy leader of the party in the Rajya Sabha in a surprise move on Thursday and replaced him with another member of Parliament, Ashok Mittal. Raghav responded to this decision by posting a video clip on his social media, saying that he is ‘silenced, not defeated.’
Priyanka Chopra Shows Support for Raghav Chadha
Priyanka commented on the post with heart eyes, applause and clap emoticons, implying that she stands with Raghav.
Tensions peaked in recent months as Raghav stayed away from major party positions, including reactions to key political developments and court relief for top AAP leaders. Party insiders began questioning whether he was aligned with AAP’s core strategy. While Raghav defended himself by highlighting public issues he raised in Parliament, AAP leaders accused him of focusing on “soft PR” instead of bigger political battles.
Khushboo Patani Suggests New Political Path for Chadha
Party leaders described the decision as part of internal restructuring. But the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) claimed the move was a result of Chadha’s “distancing himself” from the party’s national convener and former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal. Disha Patani’s sister Khushboo Patani also backed Raghav, saying that she has full faith that in the near future he will make his own party. ‘We all would want to join you because you want to work with the country,’ she said.
Despite the AAP’s internal restructuring and the BJP’s claims of distancing, Raghav Chadha has received public support, suggesting his political journey is far from over. His next steps are keenly anticipated by supporters.
