New Delhi, April 3, 2026 In a significant political development, Raghav Chadha, a Rajya Sabha member and former Deputy Leader of the Aam Aadmi Party in the Upper House, has stirred fresh debate after posting a video message on social media platform X on Friday. In the video, Chadha stated that his “voice has been suppressed, but not defeated,” adding that the message reflects his commitment to the ideals of the Aam Aadmi Party.
Removed from Deputy Leader Post
Amid rising speculation, the Aam Aadmi Party has formally moved to remove Chadha from his position as Deputy Leader in the Rajya Sabha. The party has written to the Parliament Secretariat requesting his removal from the role he held since 2023. The party also urged that Chadha should no longer be allocated speaking time under its quota in the Rajya Sabha. In his place, the AAP has proposed Ashok Mittal as the new Deputy Leader and has requested that the appointment be approved at the earliest..
Recognized Parliamentary Voice
Raghav Chadha has been widely recognized for raising key public issues in Parliament. Notably, his intervention on SIM card recharge validity and incoming call policies drew nationwide attention, prompting telecom companies to revise their plans from 28 days to 30 days — a move seen as consumer-friendly.
Political Speculation Grows
Political circles suggest that internal differences within the Aam Aadmi Party may have led to this decision. There is also growing speculation that Chadha could explore new political options, with some reports hinting at a संभाव्य shift towards the Indian National Congress in the near future. However, no official confirmation has been made regarding his future political course.
