Have I made a mistake? Have I done something wrong?” Chadha said in the video. The video message came hours after Chadha on Thursday posted a montage on social media highlighting issues he said he had raised in his capacity as deputy leader of the party in the House.The montage mentioned concerns such as the tax burden on the middle class, the data expiry problem, paternity leave as a right in India, and excess baggage charges at airports. Earlier on Thursday, the Aam Aadmi Party wrote to the Rajya Sabha secretariat seeking Chadha’s removal from the post and proposed Punjab MP Ashok Mittal as his replacement. According to sources, the letter stated that Chadha — a Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab — should not be allotted time for speaking in the House from the party’s quota.
