‘These seven have stabbed the people of Punjab in the back., have cheated‘

He said, ‘AAP and the public lifted Raghav Chadha, Ashok Mittal, Rajendra Gupta, Vikramjit Sahni, Swati Maliwal, Harbhajan Singh from the ground and brought them to Parliament. These seven have backstabbed the people of Punjab and betrayed them. Bhagwant Mann’s government has been betrayed.”

“The government is doing good work, that is why ‘Operation Lotus’ is being played”

Sanjay Singh said, “Bhagwant Mann government is doing good work, that is why ‘Operation Lotus’ is being played, ED-CBI is being used. Two-four days ago, ED raided Ashok Mittal’s house, showed fear and broke it. This is Operation Lotus. It has been run under the leadership of Amit Shah and Narendra Modi to deceive the people of Punjab.”

Chadha was once Kejriwal’s trusted strategist

It is noteworthy that before internal differences arose in recent months, Raghav Chadha used to be a trusted strategist of AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal. In fact, in the year 2013, when Anna Hazare’s India Against Corruption movement was in its last stages, Raghav Chadha met Arvind Kejriwal. Raghav Chaddha, a chartered accountant by profession, had returned to India at that time after studying at the London School of Economics.

According to a report, Raghav Chadha’s first assignment in the party was to assist advocate Rahul Mehra who prepared the draft of the Delhi Janlokpal Bill. He was given this responsibility by Arvind Kejriwal. Raghav Chadha became the youngest spokesperson of the party and within a short time became the face of the Aam Aadmi Party on television.

Tremendous blow to AAP: MP Raghav Chadha resigns, says he will join BJP along with two-thirds of the MPs.

According to the information given on the website of Aam Aadmi Party, Raghav was a member of the team that made the manifesto of Aam Aadmi Party in the year 2013. For some time he was also made the treasurer of the party. Raghav Chadha, who had joined Arvind Kejriwal’s team as a volunteer a decade ago, was now counted among his most trusted strategists.

Became MLA from Rajendra Nagar seat for the first time in 2020

In the year 2019, Raghav Chadha contested the elections for the parliamentary seat of South Delhi, but was unsuccessful. After this, he won from Rajendra Nagar seat of Delhi in the 2020 assembly elections. In March 2022, Chadha and four others were nominated by the Aam Aadmi Party to the Rajya Sabha from Punjab. At that time Raghav Chadha was 33 years old and became the youngest MP.

Raghav played an important role in the success of Punjab

It is believed that Raghav Chadha played an important role in the big victory of Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab in the year 2022. Seeing the success of Punjab, the party also entrusted him with the responsibility of Gujarat Assembly elections in the end of 2022 and made him co-in-charge.
