The script of the changes made regarding Aam Aadmi Party leader Raghav Chadha was being written for a long time. According to top sources associated with the party, Raghav Chadha was marginalized in the party for the last several months. Raghav Chadha was in the Aam Aadmi Party but did not communicate with the party leaders nor was he seen standing with the party on public forums or social media platforms.
It is even being told which issues the Aam Aadmi Party has to raise in the Parliament during the allotted time and for how much time it has to speak. Raghav Chadha did not discuss this with anyone.
Raghav's silence on many occasions related to the party and top leadership was hurting everyone. Even the excise policy in which top three leaders including party supremo Arvind Kejriwal went to jail on charges of alleged scam. The party bid farewell to power in Delhi. Even after being acquitted of charges by the Rouse Avenue Court on 27 February, Raghav Chadha neither tweeted nor went to meet Kejriwal or Sisodia.
However, the party leadership was also aware of this changed behavior of Raghav Chaddha, hence the party gradually started reducing the stature of Raghav Chaddha. Recently, Raghav Chaddha was also removed from the list of star campaigns of Aam Aadmi Party. One reason for Raghav's demotion was that the second layer people in the party were already unhappy with the change in Raghav's behavior after becoming MP.
But now this resentment had reached Arvind Kejriwal. In such a situation, many Aam Aadmi Party leaders demanded from Arvind Kejriwal that when MP Raghav Chadha does not talk to other MPs and party leaders, then what is the use of keeping him as the deputy leader of the party in Rajya Sabha? This is the reason why Aam Aadmi Party removed Raghav Chadha and appointed Ashok Mittal as its deputy leader.
According to sources, the top leadership of Aam Aadmi Party is also concerned about the fact that when the big leaders of the party were in jail and the party needed it the most, Raghav Chadha was abroad and even after coming back, remained missing for most of the time. What is the benefit of giving big responsibility to such people? According to sources, Raghav Chadha refused to speak on issues like LPG crisis in the country, garbage and weak foreign policy, and raised the issues only for his personal PR.
