‘Soft PR vs Real Issues’: AAP slams Raghav Chadha; party questions his role, stance in Parliament

Raghav Chadha said he was “silenced, not defeated” after his removal as deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha. The Aam Aadmi Party hit back, accusing him of avoiding key issues in Parliament and engaging in “soft PR”. Delhi AAP chief Saurabh Bharadwaj alleged Chadha skipped Opposition walkouts, avoided raising Punjab-related issues, and stayed abroad during Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest. Party leaders also questioned his refusal to sign a motion against the Chief Election Commissioner. The party has replaced Chadha with Ashok Mittal as deputy leader. The exchange signals growing internal friction within AAP.
