Raghav Chadha, a prominent member of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and former Deputy Leader in the Rajya Sabha, has been replaced by Ashok Kumar Mittal amid growing speculation of a rift with party leader Arvind Kejriwal. Chadha, who has served as a Member of Parliament since 2022, has been vocal on social issues such as paternity leave and menstrual hygiene. However, his recent absence from public events, particularly during Kejriwal's arrest in March 2024 related to the excise policy case, has raised eyebrows. Opposition leader Amarinder Singh Raja Warring has publicly stated that Chadha appears to be distancing himself from AAP, suggesting that the public perceives him as separate from the party.
