Rajya Sabha Chairman Rejects AAP's Bid to Appoint Interim Leader After Sanjay Singh's Arrest
- Rajya Sabha Chairman declined AAP's request to appoint Raghav Chadha as interim party leader in Rajya Sabha
- AAP had made the request after its Rajya Sabha leader Sanjay Singh was put under judicial custody
- Chairman said the request does not conform to the 'Leaders and Chief Whips of Recognised Parties and Groups in Parliament Act, 1998'
- Act cited by Chairman does not have provision for 'interim leader'
- AAP had proposed Chadha's name as interim leader until further changes after Sanjay Singh's term ends on January 27
