A massive political slugfest has erupted between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and prominent leader Raghav Chadha over an escalating voter identity controversy. During a high-profile press conference held on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, AAP leaders raised serious questions regarding Chadha's voter registration status across Punjab and Delhi. Following Chadha's classification as "permanently shifted" in the Punjab draft voter list, the ruling party in Delhi launched a scathing counter-attack, claiming that the Mohali residential address linked to the leader is entirely vacant and questioning the procedural transparency of his subsequent vote inclusion in the national capital.
AAP Alleges Mohali Flat Vacant and Questions Backdated Procedures in Delhi Voter Roll Addition
Addressing media personnel, senior AAP leader Anurag Dhanda presented visual evidence, including a video recording of flat number 103 in Mohali—reportedly the registered residential address of Raghav Chadha. The footage featured a security guard claiming he had never seen Chadha at the premises, while internal views of the flat revealed sparse furniture and a poorly maintained living condition. Dhanda questioned the authenticity of Chadha's voter residency in Punjab, emphasizing that an individual cannot legally hold active voting rights in two distinct geographic locations simultaneously. Furthermore, AAP pointed out that Chadha's name was notably absent from the draft voter list for the Rajinder Nagar assembly constituency released on August 31, 2026, demanding clarification on whether standard legal procedures and prescribed forms were bypassed to fast-track his registration after August 30.
Raghav Chadha Dismisses Action as Political Vendetta While Election Officials Clarify SIR Verification Process
The controversy stems from the recent Special In-depth Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, which categorized Raghav Chadha's Punjab vote status as "permanently shifted." Responding to the development earlier, Chadha dismissed the move as a blatant act of political vendetta, asserting his ongoing status as a Rajya Sabha member representing Punjab with an established voter ID in Mohali. Pointing out that the electoral roll remains a draft undergoing revisions, Chadha confirmed he is actively filing formal objections through appropriate legal channels. Meanwhile, election officials have firmly defended the process, clarifying that no vote was arbitrarily cancelled. According to officials, the SIR verification documents bear the mandatory signatures of booth-level agents representing both the BJP and AAP, and final determinations will only be locked in after the formal claims and objections window closes.
