At Event Planet, we regularly track major trends and conversations shaping India in 2026, not just in events and celebrations, but also in politics, entertainment, and public life. One of the biggest political discussions right now is whether Raghav Chadha is preparing to leave Aam Aadmi Party, and what that could mean for the country.

Whether you are following political news closely or just catching up over chai, the name Raghav Chadha keeps coming up and for good reason.
