NEW DELHI: Amid the ongoing rift within the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Atishi, the Leader of Opposition in Delhi, responded on Friday after AAP MP Raghav Chadha spoke out following his removal as Deputy Leader in the Rajya Sabha and the subsequent appointment of Ashok Mittal to that position. She stated that if the BJP has jumped to his side and is praising him, and even questioning why he hasn’t joined them (BJP), it clearly shows where everyone stands.
This comes after Chadha took to the social media platform X and posted, “Silenced, not defeated. My message to the ‘aam aadmi’: Khamosh karwaya gaya hun, hara nahi hun.”
Speaking to IANS, Atishi said the situation had made political alignments evident.
“It is perfectly clear; there is no need for me to say anything more. If the BJP has jumped to his side and is praising him, and questioning why he hasn’t joined them, it clearly shows where everyone stands, ” she said while speaking to IANS.
Atishi further clarified that the issue was not about personal relationships.
