AAP leader Raghav Chadha’s upcoming marriage has become a bone of contention in political circles amid allegations against the Bhagwant Mann government. Lawmakers from Punjab, including SAD MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal, have lashed out at the AAP for the lavish wedding preparations and the many resources currently available to the couple.
“Wedding of Raghav Chadha, Arvind Kejriwal’s blue-eyed boy… but at his service are Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s hundreds of security men, bulletproof land cruisers etc! Wow! No wonder the Governor of Punjab rightly asks where Punjab’s Rs. 50,000 crores worth of loans taken in last 18 months have been issued by AAP government in Punjab,” MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal tweeted.
“The AAP leader Raghav Chadha, who shows an annual income of ₹2.44 lakh in his election declaration, booked the Maharaja Suite, which costs ₹10 lakh per night, for his wedding,” added BJP leader Virendraa Sachdeva.
He also shared screenshots of the politician’s finances and relevant news reports to emphasize his point.
Chadha will marry actor Parineeti Chopra in Udaipur on Sunday. The duo were engaged in mid-May in a small ceremony attended by several prominent politicians and actors.
The couple held their ardas ceremony in the national capital earlier this week, the images of which soon went viral on social media platforms. They were earlier seen praying at the Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain and the Golden Temple in Amritsar.
Senior AAP leaders, including Mann and party chief Arvind Kejriwal, arrived in Udaipur on Saturday afternoon ahead of the wedding. The wedding rituals and functions will take place at the Leela Palace Hotel in Udaipur this weekend.
