The Story in Brief
Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha, who recently switched from AAP to BJP, has been appointed chairman of the Upper House's Committee on Petitions. Rajya Sabha chairman C P Radhakrishnan reconstituted the panel and nominated 10 members, with effect from May 20. A Rajya Sabha notification confirmed Chadha's chairmanship. The other members are Harsh Mahajan, Gulam Ali, Shambhu Sharan Patel, Mayankkumar Nayak, Masthan Rao Yadav Beedha, Jebi Mather Hisham, Subhasish Khuntia, Rwngwra Narzary and Sandosh Kumar P. Separately, Dr Menaka Guruswamy was nominated to the Joint Committee on the Corporate Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026.
The appointment marks Chadha's first major parliamentary role since joining the BJP.
The Indian Opinion
Chadha's appointment after his switch from AAP to BJP will inevitably fuel charges of 'loyalty rewarded'. But committees often get cross-party chairs; Chadha was a vocal MP before defecting. The real test is whether this panel, historically toothless, starts processing petitions with real urgency. Watch for the number of petitions disposed of in the next session.
