A recent political shift within the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has sparked conversations not just in political circles but also in the entertainment world. Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha was removed from his role as the party's deputy leader in the Upper House. The move has quickly drawn public attention and reactions online.
Soon after the development, Chadha took to social media to share a video showcasing his work in Parliament. The clip highlighted several issues he has raised over time, including Punjab's farmers, groundwater depletion, legal guarantees for MSP, the Nankana Sahib corridor, and the demand to honour Bhagat Singh with the Bharat Ratna. Instead of a detailed caption, he simply added an Indian flag emoji, letting the visuals speak for themselves.
The post gained traction quickly, with several well-known names reacting in support. Superstar Priyanka Chopra, cousin of Parineeti Chopra who is also Chadha's wife, responded with heart and applause emojis, subtly expressing encouragement. Punjabi actor Sonam Bajwa also showed her support by dropping clapping emojis in the comments section.
Support also came from Khushboo Patani, sister of actor Disha Patani, who shared a strong message backing Chadha. She wrote, “Raghav ji, aap ek padhae likhae, suljahe neta hain. Hamare desh ko aap jaise neta ki bahut zarurat hain. Mujhe yakeen hain aane wale waqt mein aap apni ek party banaye. Hum sab aapke sath judna chahengae kyunki aap desh ke sath chalna chahate hain. Jai hind.” (You are a well-educated and sensible leader. The country needs leaders like you. I believe you will start your own party in the future, and people will support you because you want to work for the nation.)

Amid the buzz, Chadha also addressed criticism regarding his involvement in Punjab-related matters. Responding to such remarks, he emphasised his deep connection with the state, saying Punjab is not just a political responsibility for him, but his “duty, soil and soul.”
The decision to replace him with Ashok Mittal has led to speculation about internal changes within the party, especially since no detailed explanation has been shared publicly
Despite the shift, Chadha appears to be maintaining a composed stance, choosing to highlight his parliamentary contributions rather than directly reacting to the decision. His recent social media activity suggests that he is focused on reinforcing his public image and continuing his engagement with key issues.
The support from personalities like Priyanka Chopra and Sonam Bajwa has further amplified the discussion, bringing further attention from outside the political sphere.
