Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar turned down the Aam Aadmi Party’s request to appoint MP Raghav Chadha as the party’s interim leader in the Upper House, Parliament sources said.
Sources in the AAP, however, said Rajya Sabha officials have suggested some correction in the letter sent to the Chairman for nominating Chadha as “interim leader” and they will shortly be sending a corrected application.
Mr. Dhankhar, according to sources, in a letter to AAP national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has stated that the request does not comply with the rules.
