Raghav Chadha hits back at AAP amid internal tensions
Raghav Chadha responds strongly after AAP action, says he is ‘wounded but dangerous’
Tensions within the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) appear to be growing after senior leader Raghav Chadha was removed from his position as deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha. Following this decision, Chadha has now released another video message, strongly defending himself and responding to criticism from within his own party.
In his latest statement, Chadha suggested that the criticism against him is not random but part of a planned effort. He said that there is a “scripted campaign” being run against him, with similar language and accusations being repeated by different people.
Chadha’s remarks come after some party leaders reportedly accused him of focusing on “soft issues” instead of targeting the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) more aggressively in Parliament.
Chadha claims coordinated attack against him
In his video, Raghav Chadha said that the attacks against him appear organised. According to him, multiple leaders are using the same points and language, which suggests coordination rather than individual opinions.
He said, “Since yesterday, there is a scripted campaign against me. They are using the same language, same issues, same allegations. This is not a coincidence, but a coordinated attack.”
Chadha also made it clear that he will not back down easily. Using a dramatic line, he described himself as “wounded but dangerous.” He said, “Ghayal hoon, isliye ghatak hoon,” which means that even though he may be hurt, he remains strong and capable of responding.
This statement quickly gained attention on social media and among political observers. Many saw it as a direct message to party leadership, showing that Chadha is ready to defend his position and reputation.
Interestingly, the line he used is inspired by the Bollywood film Dhurandhar, which starred Ranveer Singh. The dialogue itself also reflects the style of classic action films associated with actors like Sunny Deol, known for powerful and emotional lines.
By using such a dialogue, Chadha added a dramatic tone to his message, making it more impactful and memorable.

Internal rift raises questions for AAP
The controversy started after AAP removed Raghav Chadha from the post of deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha. The party later announced another leader as his replacement, indicating a shift in its parliamentary strategy.
While the party has not publicly detailed all the reasons behind this decision, reports suggest that there were concerns about the type of issues Chadha was raising in Parliament. Some leaders felt that he should focus more on directly challenging the BJP rather than discussing broader or less political topics.
However, Chadha has defended his approach. In earlier statements, he said that he speaks about issues that affect common people. He believes that raising such topics in Parliament is important and should not be seen as a weakness.
His recent comments also show that he feels unfairly targeted. By calling the criticism a “coordinated attack,” he is suggesting that the situation is more serious than just a disagreement over strategy.
Political analysts believe that this situation reflects deeper internal tensions within the party. AAP has grown rapidly over the years and now operates at both state and national levels. As the party expands, differences in opinion and leadership style are becoming more visible.
Raghav Chadha has been considered a close associate of senior leadership in the past. He has also played important roles within the party, including handling key responsibilities and representing AAP in Parliament.
His removal from such a significant position and his strong public response indicate that the issue may not be resolved quickly.
At the same time, Chadha’s use of social media and video messages shows how modern political communication is evolving. Leaders are increasingly choosing direct communication with the public instead of relying only on official party statements.
In conclusion, the ongoing situation between Raghav Chadha and the Aam Aadmi Party highlights growing internal challenges within the organisation. His strong response, including the “wounded but dangerous” remark, shows that he is not willing to stay silent.
As the matter continues to develop, it may have an impact not only on party dynamics but also on its public image. Whether this disagreement is resolved internally or leads to further divisions will become clear in the coming days.
For now, Chadha’s message is clear—he may have been removed from a position, but he is not stepping back from the political stage.
