Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj provided an update on AAP MP Raghav Chadha’s absence from election campaigns, stating that he is in the UK for eye surgery. Bharadwaj emphasized the seriousness of Chadha’s condition, noting that timely treatment was crucial to prevent potential blindness.
Minister’s Statement and Well Wishes
“I wish him a speedy recovery, and as soon as he’s fine, he will come back to India and join the party’s campaign,” stated the minister, expressing hopes for Chadha’s swift recuperation.
Despite his physical absence, Chadha has remained active on social media, addressing developments within the party, including Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest and Sunita Kejriwal’s entry into active politics with a roadshow in support of AAP candidates.
Chadha’s Response to Allegations
Responding to allegations that Tihar jail authorities are denying Arvind Kejriwal insulin and other diabetes medications, Chadha condemned the reported lack of medical care, deeming it “extremely inhumane” and against prison regulations.
Background and Recent Events
Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest in the Delhi Liquor Policy case in March, followed by his detention by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case on March 21, has been a significant development. His former Deputy, Manish Sisodia, is also incarcerated in the same case.
Meanwhile, AAP announced that Mrs. Kejriwal will lead the party’s Lok Sabha campaign in Delhi and other states, beginning with a roadshow in support of AAP’s East Delhi candidates.
In March, Raghav Chadha and Parineeti Chopra, who got married in September, attended the London India Forum 2024 at the London School of Economics, as evidenced by photos shared on their social media platforms.
