In democracy every voice should be heard, suspension of AAP MPs unfortunate: Raghav Chadha

New Delhi, Aug 4 (Agency) Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday took a dig at Union Home Minister Amit Shah over some choice of words in his recent speech. Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha criticised Shah’s choice of words, deeming them unfitting for a position of such high authority, AAP said in a statement. Chadha pointed out that Shah’s speech inadvertently underscored the effective governance delivered by AAP since 2015.

He alleged that the introduction of the Delhi Services Bill was a strategic maneuver by the BJP to curb AAP’s growing influence following their resounding victory in the 2015 elections, which had left the BJP bereft of political power in Delhi, the statement said. He also took a swipe at the BJP’s confidence in securing victory in the 2024 elections, interpreting it as a veiled attempt to evade accountability for unfulfilled promises. He highlighted the growing public discontent over issues such as job creation, economic growth, and social welfare initiatives, which BJP had pledged to address, it said. Chadha lamented the recent suspension of AAP MPs from Parliament, raising questions about the BJP’s motives behind these actions. He alleged that this was indicative of the BJP’s unwillingness to engage with voices that diverge from their own.
