Ravneet Singh Bittu, the Union minister of state for railways, criticized the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for its recent decision to remove Raghav Chadha as deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha. Bittu described this as a sign of internal discord, claiming that Chadha's role as a fundraiser for AAP was over and that the party had found a new 'bank' for funds. This development follows a series of tensions between Chadha and AAP leadership, culminating in the party's formal request for his removal and limiting his speaking role in the Rajya Sabha. Bittu characterized AAP as a 'use and throw' organization, warning Bhagwant Mann, the Chief Minister of Punjab, of a similar fate if he strays from Arvind Kejriwal's leadership. In response, Chadha defended his parliamentary record, stating that he has consistently raised critical issues affecting Punjab, including funding, farmers' concerns, and border security. He labeled the accusations against him as baseless and motivated by malice, asserting his dedication to the state's interests. The ongoing public fallout has cast uncertainty on Chadha's future within AAP, a party he once significantly influenced.
