Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha came to meet Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal at his residence in the national capital today (May 18) amid controversy over the alleged assault case of Swati Maliwal. According to reports, Raghav was in the UK and had undergone eye surgery and was away for a long duration.
In the last few months, several questions were raised over his absence, but the party had said that he will be back once he recovers.

Earlier, Delhi Health Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj said that Raghav Chadha has undergone a major eye surgery in the UK and will join the party's Lok Sabha poll 2024 campaigning once he feels better. He also added that the MP had developed a serious eye ailment which could have led to blindness.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, too, said Chadha will campaign for the party for the general assembly elections. Chadha, AAP's MP from Punjab, has been missing from the party's election campaigning.
"Raghav Chadha has undergone a major eye surgery in the UK. It is said that his condition was serious and there was a possibility of blindness. As soon as he gets better, he will come back to India and join us in the election campaigning," Bharadwaj told media.
On a question about Chadha joining the election campaign, Mann said, "He will definitely campaign." "There are 11 players (in cricket). Then there is the coaching staff, people who bowl and bat in the nets and four extra players. Everyone is fulfilling their responsibilities," he said while speaking to reporters after his meeting with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in Tihar jail.
"We have an organisation and whoever is assigned some duty, they will do it. On June 4, AAP will emerge as a strong political power," Mann added.
