Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab Raghav Chadha has replied back to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s statement, of using technical jargon to mislead the middle class and divert attention from real tax concerns.

AAP Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab, Raghav Chadha, has strongly responded to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s remarks during the Rajya Sabha discussion on the Union Budget 2025-26.

However, he was not given an opportunity to clarify his position in the Rajya Sabha, prompting him to address the matter directly.

Clarifying his stance, Raghav Chadha said that his speech on the Union Budget raised several critical concerns, including issues faced by railway passengers, financial challenges for the middle class, duties and tariffs imposed by the Donald Trump administration, and the depreciation of the rupee.

He added that the Aam Aadmi Party government is committed to providing honest and transparent governance to the people of Punjab, and this decision reaffirms that commitment.

Arora said the primary goal of this decision is to ensure that people can avail all kinds of government services without any trouble, bribery, or unnecessary running from pillar to post and to free them from the menace of corruption. He said that feedback will be taken about officials from the general public and local MLAs. Based on this feedback, honest and efficient officers will be entrusted with greater responsibilities, while strict measures will be taken against corrupt officers and employees. The officials' ACRs will also be written based on this feedback.
