The spat between the Aam Aadmi Party and its Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha intensified with the sidelined leader dismissing AAP’s allegation against him as “lies” and asserting that he went to Parliament to raise people’s issues and not to create ruckus.

“All these lies will be unmasked. Kyunki mai ghayal hoon isiliye ghatak hoon (I am wounded, therefore I am dangerous),” the MP said in a video statement, quoting from the movie Dhurandhar, and alleged that there was a coordinated campaign to target him.

His reaction came a day after the Aam Aadmi Party launched an all-out attack, accusing him of shying away from raising his voice against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Centre in Parliament and instead engaging in “soft PR”. AAP had removed him as its deputy leader in Rajya Sabha on Thursday, after which the MP had said he had been “silenced, not defeated”.

Chadha on Saturday also countered claims by AAP leaders that he did not join opposition walkouts and had refused to sign the notice for a motion to remove the Chief Election Commissioner.

He said that he did not want to respond, but if lies are repeated consistently, they may seem to appear true.

“The first allegation they put against me was that I did not walk out with the opposition. This is a white lie, and I challenge you (AAP) to give me one example, one incident, where opposition walked out and I didn’t support them,” Chadha said.
