Raghav Chadha has been removed from his role as deputy leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the Rajya Sabha. This decision was communicated to the Upper House secretariat on Thursday and is reportedly linked to allegations of indiscipline and a growing rift between Chadha and party leadership. Following the announcement, Chadha posted a video compilation of his speeches on social media, accompanied by an 'evil eye' emoji, which many interpreted as a sign of his discontent. Newly appointed deputy leader Ashok Mittal characterized the reshuffle as a routine process, asserting that there were no specific reasons behind it and that all members, including Chadha, would continue to have opportunities to speak in the House. Chadha's recent silence during key events, including the discharge of party leaders in a money laundering case and his absence from significant party gatherings, has fueled speculation about his standing within the party. Once a close ally of AAP's national convener Arvind Kejriwal, Chadha's influence appears to be waning as he has been increasingly excluded from organizational matters, despite his ongoing advocacy for public issues such as high airfares and the conditions of gig workers.
