New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha has been chosen for the "Outstanding Achiever" honour at the India UK Achievers Honours in London for the "Government and Politics" category. He will receive the award on Wednesday.
The honour celebrates the educational and professional achievements of young Indians who have studied in the UK. Chadha studied at the London School of Economics. The title recognises people who demonstrate "excellence in how democracy and justice are experienced and how challenging societal problems are tackled together for the good of people and the planet".
He told NDTV that he is dedicating the award to AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal and those who have worked tirelessly to build this party. "This award will motivate me to work harder and serve the people of my country to the best of my ability."
"This award is not a recognition of an individual's achievements but the recognition of a new brand of politics introduced by my leader, Arvind Kejriwal. India's fastest-growing political start-up, the Aam Aadmi Party, is truly representative of its people. This award recognises the journey of an alumnus of the London School of Economics to a torch bearer of the Kejriwal School of Politics, of which I am a student, and so are many faceless and nameless grassroots karyakartas," he added.
Last year, Chadha was honoured as a Young Global Leader by the most coveted World Economic Forum. He became the youngest MP in the Rajya Sabha at the age of 33 in 2022.
