Big clashes unfold in AAP over Chadha’s removal

The Aam Aadmi Party’s move to formally write to the Rajya Sabha Secretariat seeking the removal of MP Raghav Chadha as Deputy Leader of the party in the Upper House has triggered visible internal friction and speculation of a leadership tussle. The party has also asked that Chadha not be allotted speaking time from AAP’s quota, effectively sidelining a figure once projected as a key national face. 

Insiders say the decision follows his conspicuous distancing from the party line after AAP’s Delhi electoral setback and his focus on individual issues such as paid paternity leave and airport food pricing, which some senior leaders viewed as indiscipline. AAP has proposed Punjab MP Ashok Mittal as the new Deputy Leader, signalling a recalibration of its parliamentary leadership ahead of critical state elections. The rapid stripping of Chadha’s organisational roles and access to the party’s voice in Parliament has intensified whispers of a deeper rift within AAP’s national command.

 

BJP Shifts Primary Focus from Keralam to Assam & Bengal, with Major Political Resources Diverted?

Insider sources reveal the BJP has effectively given up on a major push in the Kerala assembly polls, redirecting significant resources to consolidate its stronghold in Assam and mount a stronger challenge in West Bengal. In Kerala, despite modest ambitions for 5-6 seats and recent gains like the Thrissur LS win, the party faces a bipolar UDF-LDF contest with limited prospects, prompting a scaled-back campaign.

Assam remains BJP's top priority, with CM Himanta Biswa Sarma banking on welfare, infrastructure, and anti-infiltration rhetoric to secure a third term amid a 34% Muslim electorate. In Bengal, the saffron brigade eyes wresting power from TMC through aggressive outreach and candidate finalization for 140+ seats. This strategic pivot underscores BJP's pragmatic resource allocation ahead of the 2026 polls.
