People realised this long ago, when he went to London while Kejriwal was arrested. Public perception now is that Chadha will leave or be removed from the party and join elsewhere,” he said.

Ashok Kumar Mittal replaced Raghav Chadha as Deputy Leader of the AAP in the Rajya Sabha. Reacting to the decision, AAP MP Sanjay Singh said, “We have informed the Rajya Sabha Secretariat about the decision of the party.” Mittal, a Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab, was elected in April 2022 and has participated in multiple parliamentary committees, including the Committee on Defence and the Committee on Finance. In February 2026, he became a member of the India-USA Parliamentary Friendship Group. He was also part of an all-party delegation led by Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) MP Kanimozhi that visited Russia, Latvia, Slovenia, Greece, and Spain following the Pahalgam terror attack last year.

Raghav Chadha has served as an MP since April 2022 and has frequently raised public issues in Parliament. Last month, he highlighted concerns over the “sarpanch pati” or “panchayat pati” practice, in which women elected to reserved Panchayat seats often act as figureheads while male relatives hold real power. He urged the government to ensure women representatives exercise genuine authority as intended under the 73rd Constitutional Amendment.

Chadha also brought attention to menstrual hygiene in Parliament, emphasising it as a matter of health, education, and equality affecting over 350 million women and girls in India. He said, “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 that society has turned a biological fact into a social taboo.

Earlier this year, during gig workers’ agitation, Chadha spent a day working as a delivery partner to gain firsthand insight into the pressures and challenges of the job.
