To my colleagues in AAP who were forced to issue videos saying that “Raghav Chadha failed to raise Punjab’s issues in Parliament”, here is a small trailer…Picture Abhi Baaki Hai.

In his post, he stated, “To my colleagues in AAP who were forced to issue videos saying that ‘Raghav Chadha failed to raise Punjab’s issues in Parliament’, here is a small trailer…Picture Abhi Baaki Hai. Punjab isn’t a talking point for me. It is my home, my duty, my soil, my soul.”

On Saturday, Chadha addressed the party's allegations directly, expressing, “I didn’t want to speak up, but if I stayed silent, even the repeatedly repeated lie would start to seem like the truth. Three Allegations. Zero Truth.”

Chadha responded to three significant accusations against him after being removed as AAP’s deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha. He reiterated on X, “I didn’t want to speak up, but if I stayed silent, even the repeatedly repeated lie would start to seem like the truth. Three Allegations. Zero Truth.”

In a video message, he claimed there was a “scripted campaign” against him, asserting, “The same questions and the same allegations against me. This is no coincidence but a coordinated attack.” He also refuted claims that he had not supported the opposition during walkouts, stating, “This is a white lie. There are CCTVs all around the Parliament. Anyone can check them to get their answer.”

This ongoing dispute underscores the growing tensions within AAP, as Chadha defends his actions while facing accusations of neglecting his parliamentary duties. He emphasized that his commitment to Punjab and its residents remains steadfast, asserting that he has consistently raised state issues in the Rajya Sabha and plans to continue doing so.
