In a significant internal reshuffle, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has formally written to the Rajya Sabha Secretariat seeking the removal of senior leader Raghav Chadha from the post of Deputy Leader in the Upper House.
Sources indicate that the party has not only requested his removal from the leadership position but has also urged that he not be allotted speaking time in the Rajya Sabha, signaling a deeper rift within the party’s parliamentary ranks.
Raghav Chadha, once considered among the most articulate and prominent young faces of AAP in national politics, has been a key figure in representing the party’s stance in Parliament. His sudden sidelining has sparked speculation about internal disagreements and shifting power dynamics within the party.
While the exact reasons behind this move remain unclear, political observers believe it could be linked to strategic recalibration ahead of upcoming electoral battles or internal disciplinary concerns. The party leadership has so far maintained silence on the issue, adding to the intrigue.
This development comes at a crucial time when AAP is trying to consolidate its position beyond Delhi and Punjab, making internal cohesion all the more critical.
