AAP leaders said Chadha ignored party directives in Parliament and skipped key Opposition actions, including a TMC impeachment motion and walkouts.
- On Friday, April 3, 2026, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann criticized Raghav Chadha one day after the Aam Aadmi Party removed him as its deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha.
- Mann called Chadha "compromised" for allegedly refusing to support Opposition walkouts and failing to raise the arrest of 160 AAP volunteers in Gujarat.
- The AAP accused Chadha of engaging in "soft PR" instead of confronting the Centre; Mann dismissed his claim of being "silenced" by citing focus on trivial topics.
- AAP national media in-charge Anurag Dhanda questioned whether someone who "fears" Prime Minister Narendra Modi can effectively fight for the country.
- Mann described the removal as routine, noting he and former AAP member Dharamvira previously held the post, though the party has not formally severed ties with Chadha.
