AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal's request to appoint Raghav Chadha as the party's interim leader in the Rajya Sabha has been rejected by Jagdeep Dhankhar. The Vice President has rejected AAP's requesting citing rules. According to sources, Dhankhar in a letter to Kejriwal said, "This aspect is subject to 'The Leaders and Chief Whips of Recognised Parties and Groups in Parliament (Facilities) Act. 1998' and the Rules made thereunder. The request, not being in conformity to applicable legal regime, is not being acceded to."
