    Raghav Chadha's Name Deleted from Punjab Voter Rolls, Alleges Political Vendetta

    BJP Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha has alleged that his name was wrongly classified as 'shifted' in the draft electoral rolls in Punjab, accusing the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government of political vendetta. Chadha, who recently joined the BJP from AAP, said he is a sitting MP from Punjab but his name has been classified as 'shifted' in the draft rolls. The final electoral rolls are yet to be published, and names can be corrected during the ongoing 'Claims and Objections' process. Chadha has accused the AAP government of taking its 'politics of revenge' to the draft electoral rolls and termed the classification a 'clear case of political vendetta'. Meanwhile, AAP has rejected Chadha's allegations and accused him of attempting to shift his voter registration to Delhi through a backdated process.
