After Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Raghav Chadha recently sparked controversy by calling Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu, "the Rakhi Sawant of Punjab politics", on Saturday, Rakhi herself addressed the situation and responded to the name-calling. While interacting with the media, when asked to comment on the scenario, she lashed out at the AAP politician and said, "Raghav Chadha, stay away from me and my name. Jo Mr Chadha ho na, mera naam loge toh tumhara chadha utaar dungi."

"Mr Chadha, aap khud dekhiye aapko mere naam ki zaroorat padd gaye trending mein aane ke liye. Toh aap socho main kaise trending mein rehti hoon (Mr Chadha, you had to use my name to trend on social media. Think, how I trend almost every other day)," Rakhi added. Furthermore, Rakhi's husband Ritesh, who is a UK-based businessman, while talking to ANI showed support for his wife and said he would request Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal that Chadha should be asked to resign from the party with immediate effect.
