Big explosion in political corridors: Raghav Chadha joins BJP, President Nitin Naveen gives him membership.
New Delhi: There was a big upheaval in the country’s politics today when Raghav Chadha, one of the most prominent and young faces of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), suddenly changed sides. Proving the long-running speculations true, Raghav Chadha has joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). During a special program organized at the BJP headquarters, the party’s national president Nitin Naveen himself welcomed Raghav by wearing a patka and handing him the membership slip.
This development is being considered as the biggest setback for Arvind Kejriwal and Aam Aadmi Party so far. In fact, Raghav Chadha was not only the party’s Rajya Sabha MP, but he was also considered very close to Kejriwal and the ‘poster boy’ of the party. The news of his joining BJP has created a stir in politics from Delhi to Punjab.
Big blow to AAP, Raghav’s ‘Kamal’ love
Raghav Chadha’s move to BJP is not just an individual leaving the party, but it is a breach in the core team of Aam Aadmi Party which was considered to be Ajay. After joining the membership, Raghav Chadha’s attitude also changed. Praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision and resolve for a developed India, he said that he wants to contribute to the progress of the country.
Political pundits say that Raghav Chadha was not as active in the internal activities of the party for some time as he used to be earlier. However, no one had any idea that he would leave the ‘broom’ so soon and take up the ‘lotus’. It is being told that BJP can hand him some big and important responsibility in Delhi politics.
Why did Raghav change his upbringing? inside story
It is natural to raise the question that why did Raghav Chadha take this step? In fact, sources claim that there was a lack of coordination between Raghav and the top leadership of ‘AAP’ for the last few months. News of their differences regarding policy decisions and organizational changes were trickling out.
On the other hand, BJP was for a long time looking for a young and educated face in Delhi who would have good penetration among the urban voters and youth. Raghav Chaddha fits this mold perfectly. After granting membership, BJP President Nitin Naveen said that the arrival of energetic youth like Raghav will give new strength to the party and this is the victory of the ideology of nationalism.
What will be the impact on the politics of Delhi and Punjab?
This step of Raghav Chadha is sure to have an impact on the upcoming elections. While in Punjab he played the role of party strategist, in Delhi he used to corner the opposition parties as a powerful speaker. Now after his departure, the Aam Aadmi Party will face the challenge of saving its fort. According to local people and political analysts, along with Raghav, some other big leaders and workers of AAP may also join BJP in the coming days.
At present, this new ‘chemistry’ between Raghav Chadha and BJP remains a topic of discussion on social media. While BJP supporters are calling it a masterstroke, the Aam Aadmi Party is calling it a betrayal of ideology. Now it remains to be seen to what point Raghav’s new innings with BJP takes him in politics.
