New Delhi, April 4 "I go to Parliament to make an impact, not to cause chaos," Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha said on Saturday, rejecting allegations leveled against him by the Aam Aadmi Party, calling them "false" and part of a "coordinated campaign".
In a video, Chadha dismissed claims that he did not participate in opposition walkouts, calling the charge a "blatant lie".
He challenged his critics to provide even a single instance where he failed to participate and said that parliamentary proceedings are recorded through CCTV cameras.
Refuting another allegation that he refused to sign a motion related to the Chief Election Commissioner, Chadha said that no party leader had asked him, either formally or informally, to sign it. He added that several other MPs from his party had also not signed the motion.
The MP said that his focus in Parliament has been on raising public issues such as GST, income tax, air pollution in Delhi, water concerns in Punjab, public healthcare, education, railway passenger issues, menstrual health, unemployment, and inflation.
Chadha said that he goes to Parliament to "make an impact, not to cause chaos" because it runs on taxpayers' money and it is his responsibility to highlight their concerns. "Every lie will be exposed," he said.
