He did not say anything else on social media on the matter or share any words publiclyThis came as rumours became strife on the internal rift between Raghav Chadha and the AAP high command after the party on Thursday replaced him with Ashok Mittal as its deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha. In a letter to the Rajya Sabha secretariat, AAP requested that Chadha not be allotted speaking time from the party\u2019s quota in the Upper House.According to reports, Chadha was sidelined over alleged indiscipline and for not strictly adhering to the party line. Notably, Chadha remained silent following the recent discharge of Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in the liquor excise policy-linked money laundering case. He was also absent from the party office when Kejriwal later addressed a press conference.Read more: Raghav Chadha sidelined?
