New Delhi: Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha on Saturday strongly pushed back against allegations levelled against him by the Aam Aadmi Party, calling them “completely false” and part of a “scripted and coordinated campaign” designed to damage his image.

In a second video statement, Chadha said the accusations being circulated against him carried “the same language, the same words,” which, according to him, indicated a planned attempt to target him. He said he initially chose not to respond but decided to speak out as repeated falsehoods could mislead people if left unchallenged.

Addressing the first allegation, that he did not participate in opposition walkouts in Parliament, Chadha categorically denied the claim, calling it a “pure lie.” He challenged his critics to produce even a single instance where he failed to stand with the opposition during a walkout, noting that all parliamentary proceedings are recorded. “There are CCTV cameras everywhere in Parliament. Show even one clip if I didn’t walk out with the opposition,” he said.

On the second allegation regarding a motion linked to the Chief Election Commissioner, Chadha clarified that no leader from the Aam Aadmi Party had asked him, either formally or informally, to sign it. He further pointed out that several other party MPs had also not signed the motion, questioning why he alone was being targeted. He also noted that the motion itself did not have signatures from all opposition members, suggesting the issue was being selectively amplified.

Responding to criticism that he avoids taking strong political positions, Chadha rejected the charge and said his work in Parliament has consistently focused on substantive public issues. He said his interventions have covered a wide range of topics including GST, income tax policies, Delhi’s worsening air pollution, Punjab’s water concerns, public healthcare infrastructure, and the state of government schools. He added that he has also raised issues affecting railway passengers, spoken about menstrual health and highlighted concerns around unemployment and inflation.

“I go to Parliament to create impact, not ruckus. I went there to raise the voice of the people who sent me,” Chadha said, emphasising that Parliament runs on taxpayers’ money and elected representatives have a responsibility to use that platform constructively.

He asserted that his parliamentary record over the past four years is publicly available and can be verified, adding that his focus has always been on making meaningful contributions rather than engaging in disruption.

Concluding his remarks, Chadha warned those making allegations against him that “every lie will be exposed” and “every question will be answered,” signalling that he intends to continue countering what he described as a misinformation campaign.
