Raghav Chadha named leader of AAP in RS in Sanjay Singh's absence

New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Saturday named Raghav Chadha as the party’s leader in the Rajya Sabha in the absence of Sanjay Singh, who is under judicial custody following his arrest in connection with the Delhi excise policy case.

The AAP said, “In the absence of Sanjay Singh, the party has announced Raghav Chadha as the leader of AAP in the Rajya Sabha.”

Singh was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on October 4 this year in connection with the alleged excise policy scam.

Sisodia is also under judicial custody presently.
