Raghav Chadha net worth: Swift Dzire, ₹6.35 lakh in shares, bonds, no declared property for Rajya Sabha MP

Raghav Chadha Joins BJP: Raghav Chadha, the Rajya Sabha MP had decided to leave his Aam Aaadmi Party and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on 24 April. Chadha announced on 24 April that he, along with six other AAP Rajya Sabha MPs, will join the BJP. AAP had 10 MPs in Rajya Sabha.

This comes just days after his fallout with the Arvind Kejriwal-led party.

The other MPs who, Chadha said, have merged with the BJP are Sandeep Pathak, Harbhajan Singh, Rajendra Gupta, Vikram Sahni, Swati Maliwal and Ashok Mittal. Hours after the annoucement, Chadha, Pathak and Miital joined the BJP at its headquarters in the national capital.

Chadha was recently removed by AAP as its deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha. In response, the chartered accountant-turned-politician, had accused AAP of trying to stop him from raising public issues. AAP responded, claiming that Raghav had not been toeing the party line and instead raising ‘less significant’ issues.

On Friday, AAP responded by calling Chadha and others as ‘traitors’ of Punjab. Of the seven who have switched sides, six are MPs from Punjab, elected in 2022 when the AAP won the state elections with a landslide and is going to polls next year.
