Raghav Chadha launches attack on Arvind Kejriwal over Sheesh Mahal 2

A day after quitting the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and joining the BJP, Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha on Saturday launched a sharp attack on his former boss Arvind Kejriwal over the “Sheesh Mahal 2” controversy and wondered how the “few remaining good workers” of the party would respond when asked about it.

Referring to the ‘Sheesh Mahal’ row related to the official residence of Kejriwal when he was the Delhi chief minister, Chadha claimed it was one of the main reasons for AAP’s defeat in the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections. He said that every true patriot who had nurtured the AAP with their blood and sweat with great hope has either already left the party or is in the process of leaving it.

Chadha said, “Today, Sheesh Mahal Part Two has come in Delhi. Some pictures of it have surfaced. If there was one major reason for the Aam Aadmi Party’s loss in the Delhi elections, the Sheesh Mahal was one of the main reasons for the party’s defeat. But today, not even a year has passed since the Delhi elections ended, and Sheesh Mahal Part Two has come.”

Chadha claimed every honest and hard-working person now feels that there is “no space left to work in AAP” and that the party is moving on a wrong path with which no one wants to remain associated. However, Chadha said the MPs are leaving the AAP together because they believe it has gone into “corrupt and compromised hands”.

He said those in AAP claiming that leaders left out of fear were wrong, adding that they did not leave due to any fear but because they felt disappointed, disengaged and disgusted with the party.
