Overview
- Chadha, who was removed from AAP’s Rajya Sabha leadership last week, shared a Wednesday reel urging him to start a youth-focused ‘Gen‑Z’ party and captioned it “Interesting thought.”
- He had earlier posted a photo of the chapter “Never Outshine the Master” from The 48 Laws of Power, which many read as a veiled message about his rift with AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal.
- AAP has replaced him with Ashok Kumar Mittal as deputy leader in the Upper House and asked the Rajya Sabha secretariat not to allot him speaking time under the party quota.
- Party leaders accuse him of neglecting Punjab issues, going soft on the BJP and declining to sign an opposition motion to remove Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
- Chadha says he has been “silenced, not defeated,” remains a Punjab Rajya Sabha MP until 2028 and has announced no formal next step, though any new party would need cadres, local networks and funding that take time to build.
