Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has appointed Raghav Chadha as the leader of the party in Rajya Sabha. Earlier, Sanjay Singh was the leader of the party in the Upper House of Parliament. According to news agency PTI, citing sources, Chadha has been appointed as the leader of the Rajya Sabha.

In a letter to the Rajya Sabha Chairman, AAP leadership said that in the absence of Sanjay Singh, who has "health issues," Raghav Chadha will henceforth be the party's leader in the upper house. Sanjay Singh is presently behind bars in the Delhi liquor policy case. 

According to PTI, the Rajya Sabha secretariat confirmed that a letter has been received from the AAP regarding appointing Chadha as its floor leader. The letter is now with the Secretary General of the Rajya Sabha for implementation.

AAP has a total of 10 MPs in the Upper House now. It has the fourth-largest strength in Rajya Sabha after the BJP, the Congress, and the TMC.
