Mann, who was briefing newspersons here about the performance and schemes of the ruling AAP government, was responding to a query about the statement of Chadha who questioned the party’s move to remove him as the deputy leader of the party in the Rajya Sabha.

Stating that if Chadha did not stage a walk-out, along with other party members on the important issues, was not willing to speak against the deletion of votes in poll-bound West Bengal, or speak against the arrest of party workers by Gujarat government, then the action had to be taken by the party leadership. He has gone against the party whip, Mann held, adding that Chadha instead talked about ``samosas being expensive and delivery of pizzas being delayed’’. Those who break the party lines, should be subjected to action, Mann said.

Mann, however, also held that Chadha’s removal was ``regular party functioning’’, though indicated at the same time that internal discipline remained non-negotiable. Stating that while Dr Dharamvira Gandhi was party leader in Parliament between 2014 and 2019, Mann said that later the role was taken over by him.

The AAP national media in-charge Anurag Dhanda also hit out at Chadha stating that the latter appeared ``scared’’ to speak against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Dhanda, who was previously senior vice-president of AAP, Haryana, took to X to ask that fearlessness was AAP workers’ first identity and if some feared Modi, will he fight for the country. ``In Parliament, the party gets just a little time to speak – in that, we can either struggle to save the nation or push to make samosas cheaper in the airport canteen. In Gujarat our hundreds of workers have been arrested by BJP police – will the honourable MP say something in the House. In West Bengal, the right to vote is being snatched away. When a proposal against the CEC came up in the House, Bother Sahib refused to sign it…’’.
