AAP leaders hit back at Raghav Chadha’s statement, Atishi targeted, said- Why are you afraid of asking questions to Modi?
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha has been removed from the post of deputy leader of the party. In his place, Punjab MP Ashok Mittal has been appointed as the new deputy leader. After this decision of Raghav Chadha, the stir in the party and political circles has intensified. There are many speculations that Chadha may leave the party and join BJP. According to AAP sources, Raghav Chadha had raised several public interest issues in the Rajya Sabha, on which the party did not agree. This decision is being seen as an attempt to ensure discipline in the party and party stance in the House. Former Delhi Chief Minister and senior AAP leader Atishi also reacted to this decision. Atishi said, “This is a standard operating procedure of BJP. They intimidate, threaten and lure leaders and many opposition leaders either out of fear, threat or greed jump into the lap of BJP. Perhaps the same is happening with Raghav ji.”
why you Are you so scared of BJP?
Atishi said, “Today I want to ask some questions to Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha. Raghav, why are you so scared of BJP? Why are you afraid of asking questions to BJP? Why are you afraid of asking questions to Modi?” He further said, “Today our country is going through a huge crisis. Today our country’s democracy is in danger. Today our country’s Constitution is in danger. Today in front of our eyes, the elections of West Bengal are being snatched away by misusing the Election Commission. But you are not raising questions on it. You are afraid to speak on it.”
‘Refused to sign the impeachment motion’
Atishi alleged, “We all saw that the votes were counted wrongly in Delhi. BJP officials stole the election by creating false votes. And today the same is happening in West Bengal. Today the Election Commission is being misused. But when the Trinamool Congress and the entire opposition bring an impeachment motion against the Election Commission, you refuse to sign it.”
He also mentioned inflation and the crisis of LPG gas cylinders and said, “Today, the biggest crisis faced by the common man in this country is that of LP gas cylinders. You are a big man, you are a member of the Rajya Sabha. You may not have any problem, but a common family, a small house or a family living in a colony is facing difficulty in cooking food for their children.”
Atishi said, “Can you imagine people going to work or standing in line to get a gas cylinder so that they can cook food for their children the next day? When the Aam Aadmi Party raised the issue of LP cylinders in Punjab and Delhi, when MPs raised the issue, and when you were asked to speak on it, you remained silent.” He also raised questions about democracy and constitutional values, saying, “Today every person in this country will have to decide whether he is with Modi or with the Constitution and democracy.”
‘Did you go to London because of fear?’
Atishi said, “I remember when Arvind Kejriwal was arrested, we all were fighting on the streets. The police were beating us, dragging us and taking us away. We were kept in different police stations in Delhi, Narela, Bawana. We were fighting on the streets every day. When you were in London, you had said that you had gone for your eyes operation. The media asked us many questions. We repeatedly said no, Raghav. Chadha is not scared. But today I am also wondering, when Arvind Kejriwal was arrested, did you go to London out of fear?
Taking aim at Raghav Chadha, he further said, “Maybe you are afraid of going to jail. But we are Arvind Kejriwal’s soldiers. We are neither afraid of BJP, nor of Modi, nor of his agencies, nor of going to jail. That is why we have been raising the voice of the common man of this country and will continue to raise it.”
What did Raghav say??
After being removed from the post of AAP’s Rajya Sabha deputy leader, Raghav Chadha on Friday accused the party and said that his voice is being suppressed. After being removed from the post of deputy leader, Chadha posted a video on his social media handle. In this video he said, “Whenever I get a chance to speak in Parliament, I raise public issues and perhaps I raise topics which are not usually raised in Parliament. But is it a crime to raise public issues? Have I made a mistake? Have I done anything wrong?”
Raghav said that the party asked the Rajya Sabha Secretariat to stop him from speaking in Parliament. He further raised the question, “Now why would anyone want to stop me from speaking? Whenever I speak, I talk about the common man of the country.”
He referred to the issues raised in his Parliament:
Issue of expensive food at airport
Zomato-Blinkit delivery riders problem
issue of food adulteration
Increasing tax burden on middle class
Strike on content creators
Case of telecom companies recharging 13 times in 12 months
Chadha said that after raising these issues, the common man of the country benefited, but what loss the party suffered due to this is beyond comprehension. He finally thanked the public and said, “Well, you guys give me immense love. Whenever I raise your issues, you encourage me. Thank you all for this.”
