New Delhi, 10 April (H.S.):

Amid escalating tensions with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha released an Instagram video montage titled Voice Raised, Price Paid on Friday, compiling his parliamentary interventions to counter criticisms of subdued opposition tactics.

Let my record articulate on my behalf, Chadha asserted in the caption, respectfully rebutting detractors questioning his Upper House efficacy. He dismissed rift rumors as fabrications, reaffirming his commitment to substantive advocacy over mere disruption.

The salvo follows AAP's April 2 ouster of Chadha as party deputy leader, supplanted by Ashok Mittal, with directives to the Rajya Sabha Secretariat barring Chadha from the party's speaking quota. Insiders cited his perceived soft PR for the government and inconsistent aggression as catalysts for the demotion.
