The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), led by Arvind Kejriwal, has removed Raghav Chadha from the post of Rajya Sabha deputy leader, replacing him with Punjab MP Ashok Mittal. The party has formally informed the Rajya Sabha Secretariat and requested that Chadha no longer be allotted speaking time in the House. Chadha, once a prominent face of AAP and close aide of Kejriwal, had held the position since 2023. While no official reason has been given, the move has triggered speculation about internal party dynamics and his future role. The reshuffle is seen as a significant shift in AAP’s parliamentary strategy, raising questions about leadership changes within the party. (PC: HT)
