Atishi, a prominent leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), publicly criticized Raghav Chadha following his removal as deputy leader of the Rajya Sabha. She accused him of being afraid of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, citing his refusal to support an impeachment motion against the Chief Election Commissioner proposed by the Trinamool Congress. Atishi claimed that Chadha's inaction during critical moments, such as the alleged manipulation of votes in Delhi and the ongoing crisis regarding LPG cylinder shortages, reflects his unwillingness to confront the government. In response, Chadha defended his silence in Parliament, asserting that it should not be interpreted as defeat and questioned why he has been allegedly silenced. AAP's Delhi president, Saurabh Bhardwaj, supported Atishi's statements, accusing Chadha of avoiding accountability and failing to address significant public issues in Parliament. He raised concerns regarding the integrity of the electoral process and the perceived bias of the Election Commission towards the central government, warning that fear could jeopardize political careers.
