On Saturday, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) appointed Raghav Chadha as the party's leader in the Rajya Sabha, taking on the role in the absence of Sanjay Singh. Singh is currently in judicial custody following his arrest in connection with the Delhi excise policy case.
The AAP announced, "In the absence of Sanjay Singh, the party has announced Raghav Chadha as the leader of AAP in the Rajya Sabha."
Sanjay Singh was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on October 4 in relation to the alleged excise policy scam. The ED had also arrested former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on March 9 this year in connection with the same case, shortly after his arrest by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on February 27. Sisodia is currently also in judicial custody.
