AAP's Request Seeking Raghav Chadha's Appointment As Rajya Sabha Leader Rejected By Chairman

Parliament Updates In yet another  reversal to Aam Aadmi Party, Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankar on Friday rejected the request by AAP Convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to appoint Raghav Chadha as the interim party leader in the upper house of the Parliament, in absence of party MP Sanjay Singh, who has been lodged in Tihar jail over his alleged involvement in the now- scrapped Delhi Liquor Policy.  

According to a report by PTI, Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar wrote a letter to Kejriwal declined to accept his request and cited rules under The Leaders and principal lashes of Recognised Parties and Groups in Parliament( installations) Act.  " This aspect is subject to' The Leaders and principal lashes of Recognised Parties and Groups in Parliament( installations) Act. 1998' and the Rules made thereunder. 

The request, not being in conformity to applicable legal  governance, isn't being  agreed to," he said in the letter.  before this month, Kejriwal had asked Dhankhar to appoint Chadha as the interim leader of the AAP in the Rajya Sabha as  bottom leader Sanjay Singh was in judicial  guardianship. With Dhankhar turning down Kejriwal's request citing rules, Singh continues to remain the leader of the AAP in the Rajya Sabha.
