Amid the ongoing feud within the Aam Aadmi Party surrounding its leaders and party MP Raghav Chadha, former AAP Haryana leader Naveen Jaihind called Chadha Arvind Kejriwal a “razdar”, stressing that the entire dispute is about money that has been “extorted” from Delhi and Punjab.
Speaking to ANI on Saturday, Jaihinde alleged that Raghav Chadha collected extortion money from Delhi and Punjab, which he later took to London, which was earlier supposed to be transferred to Singapore. The former AAP leader claimed that after all the developments, Chadha was beaten up first in New Delhi and then in a “secret palace” in Chandigarh.
“Raghav Chadha is Maldar Kejriwal (the rich man) and Razdar (his confidant), and the real dispute is about money extorted from Punjab and Delhi. The money that was supposed to be sent to Singapore, he (Raghav Chadha) took it to England. During this time, he was made to stand like a rooster and was beaten up in Delhi, and then he was beaten up in the secret palace in Chandigarh. It is all about money and corruption, nothing else,” Jahind said.
The whole controversy started after Raghav Chadha was sacked from the post of Aam Aadmi Party’s deputy leader in Rajya Sabha, earlier this week, following which, the AAP MP criticized the party leadership, accusing them of silencing his voice.
Following Chadha’s remarks, several AAP leaders came out strongly against him, saying that he was said to have been “compromised” and was afraid of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Chadha on Saturday responded to the allegations that followed his removal as Aam Aadmi Party’s deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha, terming it a “coordinated attack” and denying allegations that he had refused to withdraw from Parliament or sign an impeachment memorandum against the Chief Election Commissioner.
In a post on X, Chaddha said that a written campaign was being conducted against him. “Since yesterday, a written campaign has been going on against me. Same language, same words, same allegations. This is not a coincidence, but a coordinated attack. At first, I thought I shouldn’t respond. Then I thought that if the lie was repeated 100 times, some people might believe it. So, I decided to respond.”
