Jagdeep Dhankar declines appointment of Raghav Chadha as interim party leader in Rajya Sabha

New Delhi: Recently, an unexpected move came from the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, Jagdeep Dhankhar. He snubbed a request from the Aam Aadmi Party’s cheif, Arvind Kejriwal, to install Raghav Chadha as their new interim leader in the Rajya Sabha. Against initial expectations, Dhankhar rather preferred Sanjay Singh to remain at the helm of the party’s Rajya Sabha faction. Many, taken by surprise by this turn of events, speculated that Chadha, an active participant in AAP’s journeys, would be handed the reins of the party in the upper house, as per a report covered by news agency IANS.

This leadership decision by the Rajya Sabha Chairman has led to a closer examination of the AAP’s internal dynamics and speculations about its future course. As AAP journeys ahead under Sanjay Singh’s command, it will be engrossing to see how this change at the top influences their strategies and objectives in the Rajya Sabha. The road ahead for AAP, filled with challenges and opportunities, certainly promises to be an adventurous one.

“This aspect is subject to ‘The Leaders and Chief Whips of Recognized Parties and Groups in Parliament (Facilities) Act. 1998′ and the Rules made thereunder. The request, not being in conformity to applicable legal regime, is not being acceded to,” the chairman said, as per the sources.
