Actress Parineeti Chopra's husband and politician Raghav Chadha has been in the news after he left the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He revealed a ‘toxic work environment' and deteriorating functioning as his reasons for exiting the former political party. Actor Prakash Raj, who never believes in mincing his words, has reacted to a video shared by Chadha, calling him "namak haram."

Prakash Raj on Raghav Chadha's political move

On Monday, Raghav shared a video on Instagram in which he gave clarification about his exit from AAP and his reason for joining the BJP. In the video, he stated that maybe he could be wrong, but not all seven people who left the party along with him.

Prakash reacted to Raghav's video and also took a dig at him for losing one million followers on Instagram. The actor wrote, "I could be wrong too…but not a million who walked away, unfollowing you from your social media platform #NamakHarami #justasking (sic)." Check out the post.

Reacting to his tweet, a netizen wrote, "Numbers of MLAs of AAP left in the last few years. Kumar Vishwas was one of them... and also popular among youth, but nobody criticised him... Is this all going on because he joined BJP or what? (sic)."

Earlier, the actor had shared a meme on Chadha which read, "I am quitting the police force... joining Dawood Ibrahim (sic)."

Raghav Chadha's fallout with AAP

Chadha, who has been a prominent face of AAP and one of its youngest leaders, had played a key role in the party's growth, especially in Punjab. His sudden exit, along with other leaders, has raised questions about the party's internal cohesion and future strategy. The decision has caused an uproar on social media, with political leaders and citizens willing to know the loopholes existing within politics. Chadha was known to raise some prominent issues in Parliament fearlessly.

On the personal front, Parineeti and Raghav tied the knot on September 24, 2023, in a private ceremony in Udaipur. The couple embraced parenthood on October 19 last year as they welcomed their son, Neer.
