Tensions Rise as AAP Removes Raghav Chadha from Deputy Leader Position

Bihar Minister Ram Kripal Yadav criticized AAP's removal of Raghav Chadha as the Deputy Leader in the Rajya Sabha, calling it unjustified. Amid party tensions, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann supported the decision. Chadha defended his record, citing public issues he raised in Parliament as his focus.

Bihar Minister Ram Kripal Yadav has condemned the recent removal of Raghav Chadha from his position as the Deputy Leader in the Rajya Sabha, labeling it as unjustified. Yadav expressed bewilderment over AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal's disappointment with Chadha, pondering the reasons behind his discontent.

This development comes amid internal strife within the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), with dissent arising over leadership decisions. Raghav Chadha's removal was defended by Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, who described it as routine party protocol. AAP Delhi President Saurabh Bhardwaj criticized Chadha for allegedly prioritizing public relations over critical national issues in Parliament.

Chadha, however, has countered these allegations through social media, emphasizing his commitment to public issues such as toll charges, food adulteration, and content creator taxation while serving as a party representative. Following his ousting, Ashok Kumar Mittal has taken over as AAP's new Deputy Leader in Rajya Sabha.
