The party informed the Rajya Sabha Secretariat of this decision on Thursday.

Mittal, a Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab, was elected in April 2022. Since then, he has served on several parliamentary committees, including the Committee on Defence and the Committee on Finance. In February 2026, he was appointed to the India-USA Parliamentary Friendship Group.

He was part of an all-party delegation led by DMK MP Kanimozhi that visited Russia, Latvia, Slovenia, Greece, and Spain following the Pahalgam terror attack last year.

Raghav Chadha, also a Rajya Sabha MP since April 2022, has been known for raising public issues in Parliament. Last month, he highlighted concerns over the practice of “sarpanch pati” or “panchayat pati,” where women elected to reserved Panchayat seats often serve as figureheads, with their male relatives exercising real power. He urged the government to ensure that women representatives in local bodies have genuine authority as intended under the 73rd Constitutional Amendment.

Chadha also addressed the issue of menstrual hygiene in Parliament, describing it as a matter of health, education, and equality affecting over 35 crore women and girls in India. He stated, “if a girl misses school because there are no sanitary pads, water, and privacy, it is not her personal problem but a collective failure.” He added, “society has turned a biological fact into a social taboo.”

Earlier this year, during the gig workers’ agitation, Chadha spent a day as a delivery partner to better understand the pressures and challenges associated with the job.
