The AAP has reacted to Raghav Chadha’s “silenced” video posted on Friday morning, saying that the government doesn’t care about “soft PR”. “A small party has a limited time and it is more important to talk about larger issues of the country rather than samosas,” said president of the Aam Aadmi Party’s Delhi unit Saurabh Bharadwaj.
He further alleged that in every state genuine voters are being removed before elections and fake voters are being registered. “The government is employing fully corrupt methods to win elections. In Bengal, the Opposition brought a motion to impeach the CEC. But you refused to sign it,” he said.

Raghav Chadha was removed from the post of AAP’s Deputy Leader in Rajya Sabha on Thursday. Reacting to this, Chadha released a video claiming that he only tried to raise the common man’s issues but was being “silenced” by the party. AAP insiders, however, have said that Chadha was not being restrained from speaking in Parliament. His replacement Ashok Mittal said the move was a “routine process”.

‘How will you sustain in politics if you are scared?’
Bharadwaj further alleged that Chadha in Parliament refuses to stage a “walkout” against the government when the Opposition decides to. “For a long time, you have failed to raise issues questioning the Prime Minister or the Bharatiya Janata Party government. How will you sustain in politics if you are scared,” he sought to ask Chadha.
He further said that Chadha had failed to raise issues from Punjab, which he represents. Bharadwaj accused Chadha of failing to raise his voice and going into “hiding” when Arvind Kejriwal was arrested “on false charges” during his tenure as the Delhi CM. “I believe we need to raise issues important to the country and courageously fight the BJP. They don’t care about your soft issues; rather they are supporting you on social media. Think about it,” Bharadwaj said.
