Raghav Chadha Meets President, Alleges Misuse of Power by Punjab Government
AAP MP claims state machinery is being used for political targeting after MPs shift allegiance to BJP
In a significant political development, Raghav Chadha, a Rajya Sabha MP and senior leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), has alleged misuse of state power by the Punjab government. Speaking through a post highlighted by Zee News, Chadha stated that he, along with three fellow Members of Parliament, met the President of India to raise concerns over what he described as political targeting.
According to Chadha, the delegation informed the President that the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab is allegedly misusing administrative machinery to suppress dissent and target opposition voices. He emphasized that these actions have intensified following a major political shift, where a significant number of MPs reportedly decided to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Chadha further criticized what he called a contradiction in political conduct, stating that a party that once spoke strongly against “politics of revenge” is now, in his view, practicing it in its most extreme form.
The AAP leader noted that the President assured the delegation that constitutional rights and democratic values would be upheld. He expressed confidence that such reassurance would help safeguard the principles of democracy and ensure that political differences are not met with administrative retaliation.
The allegations come at a time of heightened political tensions in Punjab, with party realignments and accusations adding to the evolving political landscape. No official response from the Punjab government or AAP leadership has been detailed in the statement.
