In a significant organisational change, the Aam Aadmi Party has replaced Raghav Chadha as its deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha with Ashok Mittal. The decision comes at a time when Chadha has maintained a low public profile, leading to speculation about possible internal differences.
The party has formally notified the Rajya Sabha Secretariat about the leadership change. Reports also suggest that Chadha will not be assigned speaking time in Parliament, a move that has added to the ongoing buzz.
Chadha has been absent from key party platforms, including a high-profile rally at Jantar Mantar and official press briefings by Arvind Kejriwal. His silence on recent developments involving senior party leaders has further fueled discussions.
A founding member of AAP, Chadha has also played a key role in coordinating opposition unity under the INDIA bloc and continues to serve as Punjab co-incharge.
