As per reports, he was instrumental in shaping the 2013 Assembly manifesto of the party. After the party came to power with a thumping majority in the 2015 Assembly election, Chadha, who specialises in International Tax Advisory and Transfer Pricing, was appointed as an advisor in the finance ministry headed by deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia. However, in April 2018, he was sacked along with nine other advisors by the Centre, which termed their appointment as illegal. Chadha criticised the bureaucracy of being “hand in glove” with the BJP in his letter to the home ministry. Despite his unceremonious sacking, the AAP continued to back him and gave him the charge of South Delhi Lok Sabha constituency in late 2018. However, he lost the election to BJP’s Bidhuri by a margin of over 3.6 lakh votes.
