Tensions Escalate in AAP: Mann Questions Chadha's Loyalty

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann criticized AAP MP Raghav Chadha for allegedly breaking party lines by not adhering to the party whip. Mann highlighted Chadha's reluctance to engage in critical parliamentary issues as detrimental to the party's unity. The clash follows Chadha's removal as the party's deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann launched a scathing attack on AAP MP Raghav Chadha on Friday, accusing him of being 'compromised' as he reportedly defies the party's directives by ignoring party whip instructions.

Mann alleged that Chadha has failed to address crucial topics such as the deletion of votes in West Bengal or the arrest of AAP volunteers and leaders in Gujarat, activities that break from party expectations.

This internal strife comes amid Chadha's removal as AAP's deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha, with Mann defending his actions as a routine party reshuffle while raising concerns about Chadha's apparent hesitance to criticize the central government.
