“Raghav Chadha has claimed that he used to raise the issues of the common man which are not usually raised by the others and if it is a crime?But on the other hand ,AAP which came into being as a common man’s party said that he did not raise the issues of the party,like SIR,allegedly stealing the elections of WB like Delhi, shortage of LPG etc. But the question is that the issues raised by Raghav were not of any common man’s interest, is it all the political game of toeing the party line,”

The deputy leader of the AAP in RS Raghav Chadha who has been allegedly replaced by Ashok Mittal, has on Friday posted a video on X expressing his stand.

“I used to raise the issues of the Public and if it is a crime?Have I done something wrong?Raghav asks in his video.

The AAP has written to the RS secretariat that Raghav should not be allowed to speak. They have snatched my right to speak in the Parliament,’ Raghav said in his post.

“I usually raised the issues of the common man which are not generally raised,” Raghav said.

“I talk about the common man, I raised the issue of the expensive food at the airports,I spoke about the plight of the 10 minute delivery services of the Gig workers,I spoke about the food adulteration,loot at toll plazas,about the unduly taxes by the banks and asked why the telecom companies charge the people for 13 months instead of 12 months in a year and why there is no data roll over at all,” Raghav said in his video post which roughly goes in a translation like this.

Whatever any political party may say or criticize him, the three major issues pertain to the common man of India.

First, mobile phone is no longer is a luxury and the telecom companies charge from every subscribers for about 28 days and no data roll over. It is always reset at 1200 hours and unconsumed data is retained by the service providers.

This way, as Raghav Chadha alleged that they make one pay for about 13 months’ while the years consists of 12 months , is right.

Then secondly, when one is charged for the data on the basis of one’s plan, why it is not rolled over/carried forwarded and why incoming call facilities are snapped at once.

Millions of the boys and girls working for the various E- commerce companies must have acknowledged that their voice has been raised by someone as delivering some food item in just 10 minute is a risk to their life for nothing. But the AAP party is not allegedly happy with these Aam aadmi issues,because there are some political reasons.

The AAP leaders lash at him allegedly for his understanding with the BJP

“You are afraid of BJP and Modi Ji.You are not ready to speak a single word against the BJP or Modi ji.The AAP has been facing a challenging time for about 18 t0 24 months since its main leaders had been arrested,but you were in London when we all, the sepoy of Kejriwal were on roads,” alleged a senior leader of AAP taking Chadha head on on X in  a video post.

“The crisis of the LPG is the bigger issue, so is the SIR, the BJP is allegedly stealing the West Bengal elections just like the Delhi, but you remained silent on those issues,” the AAP alleged.

Another senior party leader alleged that the BJP is all hell bent to silence its critics.But Raghav Chadha is given cheap publicity on the issues raised by him in the parliament.

“Jo dar Gaya So Mar Gaya,” is the headline of another party leader who criticised Chadha.

“When our chief minister Arvind Kejriwal was arrested ,you were silent then and away when many AAP workers booked in Gujrat, you remained silent and apart from it, you failed to take up the issues of the state of Punjab from where you had been elected,” said an AAP senior leader on a video posted on X.

Another critical of Raghav Chadha alleged that Raghav was spared on some issues and he was toeing the line of the BJP and BJP,instead of discrediting him, was propagating his issues raised.He alleged that he wanted to join the BJP,but Arvind Kejriwal has checkmated him.

 But this is the message that if you raise public issues from the platform of any rival party or at the behest of the other party, they may be or may not be accepted as public issues by the parent party.

First of all, when the AAP elected its Rajya Sabha members from Punjab,most of the people criticised the criteria of their choice.But party did not listen.

Now its has two of its MPs, Swati Maliwal and Raghav Chadha have turned rebellion.Whatever party may any of them join ,only time will tell,but they have allegedly outsmarted the top leadership.

Maliwal also dragged the party into the police and did not toe the party line.She was also away when the Delhi CM was arrested.Only party highcommand knows whether their MPs were allegedly aligned with the BJP or someting else went wrong.

Raghav Chadha said that he would come back when the proper time came.

While the Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann,speaking to the media persons today said that it was a normal practice.”Earlier Dharamvir Gandhi was our leader in the house and then he was replaced by me,however,if someone breaches the disciple of the party, there must be some action,’ he said.
