Will Chadha dominate AAP’s ‘politics’ in RS?

New Delhi: Before the monsoon session of Parliament, the Aam Aadmi Party had three MPs in the Rajya Sabha and their leader was Sanjay Singh. Apart from Sanjay Singh, the other two MPs - Sushil Gupta and NDA Gupta had nothing to do with politics, so they used to sit in the house like a statue and Sanjay Singh used to take over the command.

In every case he spoke and appeared everywhere. But now the situation has changed. Now seven new MPs have reached the Rajya Sabha, including Raghav Chadha. His special position within the party can be gauged from the fact that he was made the chairman of the committee advising the government in Punjab. Raghav Chadha dominated the Rajya Sabha in the monsoon session of Parliament. From day one he started participating in debates, giving notices, raising questions of order. One day he raised the question of arrangement half a dozen times. Not only this, even at the time of the farewell of Chairman Venkaiah Naidu, there was much discussion about his speech. Now he has started seeking people’s opinion on the issues to be raised in Parliament. In the monsoon session, Sanjay Singh somehow got himself suspended and sat on dharna but the whole session was dominated by Raghav Chadha. Now, the contest is between these two as the remaining eight MPs are out of the contest.
