‘Never outdo the guru’: Raghav Chadha’s cryptic Instagram post amid feud with AAP leadership

“I was given a book this week. It’s funny how timing works. Timing is hard to ignore. I turned to the first chapter – ‘Never Beyond the Master’. Some books arrive exactly when they are supposed to,” he wrote in the post.Last week, the AAP sacked Chadha, one of its most recognizable and high-profile faces, as deputy leader of the House of Representatives. He is the youngest member of the House of Representatives.The party also urged the Federal Chamber Secretariat not to give him time to speak on behalf of the party.The 37-year-old politician, who is married to actor Parineeti Chopra, has been sharing videos targeting AAP since he was sacked from the Lok Sabha. On the other hand, party leaders accused him of engaging in “soft PR” and “avoiding” speaking out against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.Senior AAP leaders alleged that Chadha was “unwilling” to raise issues in line with the party’s stand. They pointed out that he refused to sign the notice seeking the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and failed to join the opposition’s walkout on key issues in the House.Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, Rajya Sabha leader Sanjay Singh, former Delhi chief minister Atishi and Delhi unit chief Saurabh Bharadwaj were among those who accused him of “deviating” from the party line.Chadha remained silent during the jailing of AAP supremo and then Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal Although he has repeatedly denied rumors of the fallout, his role in the Delhi liquor scam has attracted attention.He is the second AAP MP to fall out with the party leadership in recent years, after Swati Maliwal, also a member of the Lok Sabha. In May 2024, Maliwal was allegedly attacked by Bibhav Kumar, a close aide of the AAP chief, at his residence in Kejriwal.
