Will Raghav Chadha launch a new Party? AAP rebel spills some hints

Ever since cracks began to show between Aam Aadmi Party’s Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha and the party leadership, there has been a lingering question about what's next for one of AAP’s most recognisable young faces.

Chadha may have dropped his biggest hint yet?

He shared a reel by a content creator, Rihan, who goes by the username ‘seedhathok’, and described it as an “interesting thought”. The reel suggests that Chadha should chart his own course instead of aligning with any existing political outfit.

“At this point, everyone wants that Raghav Chadha should make his own party called Gen-Z party or any other name that he finds suitable,” addressing Chadha, the creator says.

“However, if he joins some other party, he may not get this kind of support he is getting right now. Or maybe, he might actually get some hate. That is why, starting his own party would be a good decision. He will get the support of the youth and win one-sided”.

Chadha did not add any commentary of his own beyond calling it an “interesting thought”.

Just over a week ago, AAP replaced Chadha as deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha, appointing Ashok Kumar Mittal in his place. Chadha was even reportedly prevented from speaking in Parliament on behalf of the party.

Leaders accused him of going soft on the ruling BJP and misusing valuable parliamentary time. Tensions escalated further over the Opposition’s impeachment motion against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. AAP’s Saurabh Bhardwaj accused Chadha of refusing to sign the motion.

Senior leader Atishi did not hold back either, publicly asking, “Why are you so afraid of the BJP? Why are you afraid of questioning PM Narendra Modi?"

“Have you ever questioned the attack on democracy? Have you ever questioned voter deletion, or wrongly-made votes?” she added.

Chadha, for his part, calling the developments an attempt to sideline him, said he was being “silenced” by his own party.

“Whenever I get the chance to speak in Parliament, I raise the public's issues… but is it a crime or a mistake to do so?" he asked.

On Monday, Chadha shared a photo of himself reading *The 48 Laws of Power* by Robert Greene. The caption read: “Somebody gifted me a book this week... I turned to chapter 1 – ‘Never outshine the master’. Some books arrive exactly when they are meant to.”
