‘Silenced, not defeated’: Raghav Chadha’s first message after removal from AAP Rajya Sabha deputy leader’s post

He questioned: “I have always raised the people’s issues. Have I done something wrong?”

In the video, he sought to tell the AAP leadership: “The Aam Aadmi Party has asked the Rajya Sabha to not let Raghav Chadha speak. But why? I always spoken for the common man. I have raised issues, such as expensive food at airports, telecom firms overcharging us, toll plaza and bank loots, gig workers’ problems, etc. After raising these issues the common man was benefited. But what has the AAP lost? Why am I being silenced?”

Chadha’s message came a day after the AAP wrote to the Rajya Sabha secretariat, urging not to allot the MP time to speak from the party’s slot. The party also told the Rajya Sabha to appoint Ashok Mittal as his replacement for the post of the Deputy Leader in the Upper House.
