From raising the issue of high chai-samosa prices at airports to highlighting gig workers’ problems very vocally in Parliament, Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha broke his silence on the NEET paper leak issue and the protests that took place on the streets of Delhi a few days ago.
After remaining completely silent and facing criticism across social media, the young leader finally opened his mouth on Friday in Parliament. He admitted that his role has changed now and said, “Earlier, when I was in the Opposition, it was my job to raise questions, and I did it honestly. Now I am on the treasury benches, so my role has changed. My responsibility is no longer to ask questions but to provide solutions.”
Raghav Chadha, who is known for raising issues concerning young Indians, the former AAP (Aam Aadmi Party) leader, took a dig at his former party, alleging serious irregularities in the Punjab Pharmacy Officer recruitment examination held on July 19. He also added that since the AAP came to power in Punjab, there have been many irregularities in examinations.

He emphasized that accountability and ethics should take precedence over politics, regardless of which party governs the state where an examination scandal occurs. “It should not matter which state witnessed the paper leak, which minister was in charge, or which political party was in power,” he said, calling for bipartisan support to restore the credibility of public examinations.
