New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has removed its senior leader and Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha from the post of deputy leader of the party in Rajya Sabha. Along with this, the party sent the proposal to make Ashok Mittal the deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha to the Rajya Sabha Secretariat. AAP also directed that Raghav Chadha should not be given time to speak in Parliament. Soon after this move, speculations intensified in political circles whether Chadha might join BJP. However, AAP leader Sanjay Singh completely rejected these rumours. He says these claims are “baseless and baseless”.
Why is Raghav Chaddha less visible in public?
In the last few weeks, Raghav Chadha made scant presence in media briefings, social media and party offices. Even on important occasions like relief given to AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal in the Delhi Excise Policy case, Chadha was not seen. Sanjay Singh said that ups and downs in the activities of any leader are common in politics and it should not be seen as a sign of leaving the party. He stressed that Chadha’s association with the party is still strong and his responsibilities and nomination are clear proof of this.
What does it mean to be less visible?
Is Chadha’s less visibility a sign of some change in politics? Sanjay Singh says that it is not so. Just because a leader is less visible in public, it does not mean that he is going to leave the party. He also clarified that if Chadha ever decides to join BJP, the party will itself watch his steps before protesting. At present, there does not appear to be any such possibility.
Political strategy and future direction
The move to remove Raghav Chadha by AAP is being considered as part of a political strategy. The appointment of Ashok Mittal is likely to strengthen the new leadership and organizational structure within the party. The move also reflects AAP’s strategic role in the Rajya Sabha and its intention to maintain a balance between the ruling party and the opposition.
