Raghav Chadha, along with MPs Ashok Mittal and Sandeep Pathak, resigned from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday, marking a significant shift in the party's leadership dynamics. This resignation follows Chadha's removal from his position as deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha, which has been attributed to ongoing tensions between him and the party leadership. Reports suggest that Chadha's focus on personal issues, such as advocating for gig workers and airport food prices, was seen as detrimental to the party's agenda. His absence from key events and lack of support during critical times, including the arrest of AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal in a liquor policy case, further fueled discontent within the party. Since its founding in 2012, AAP has witnessed the departure of several key figures, including founding members Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan, who were expelled in 2015, and other prominent leaders like Shazia Ilmi and Ashutosh. Recent mass resignations include 8 MLAs in Delhi shortly before the 2025 elections and 15 councillors in 2025 who formed a new party. These developments raise concerns about AAP's internal cohesion and future direction.
