New Delhi:
He raised everything from airport chai-samosa prices to gig workers’ problems very vocally in Parliament. But the young neta went totally silent when thousands of youngsters hit the Delhi streets to protest the NEET paper leak.
And the silence did not go unnoticed. It invited loud criticism and social media ridicule by many.
Questioned over his “radio silence” on the student protests, BJP MP Raghav Chadha on Thursday answered critics during his intervention in the Rajya Sabha.
The former AAP leader-turned-BJP MP, who is known to raise issues related to students, the middle class, education and gig workers, finally broke his silence on the NEET issue.
The young leader, who switched to the BJP from AAP recently, said his role changed after the political switch.
“Earlier, when I was in the Opposition, it was my job to raise questions, and I did it honestly. Now I am on the treasury benches, so my role has changed. My responsibility is no longer to ask questions but to provide solutions,” he said while speaking during the debate in Rajya Sabha on the new law against paper leaks.
