Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has removed Raghav Chadha from his position as Deputy Leader in the Rajya Sabha, replacing him with Ashok Mittal and informing the Secretariat not to allot him speaking time in Parliament, signalling a major leadership shift. The party describes the move as internal restructuring, but critics tie it to Chadha’s perceived distance from core AAP leadership. In his first public response, Chadha asked if raising public issues in Parliament was a “crime,” calling himself “silenced, not defeated.” The change has fuelled speculation about internal tensions within AAP’s ranks.
