Amid ongoing tensions with the Aam Aadmi Party, Raghav Chadha returned to social media on Monday with a curious post highlighting the book “The 48 Laws of Power”, stressing its message: “Never outshine your superior.”In the Instagram post, Chadha is seen seated in his garden, reading the book by US author Robert Greene. A zoomed-in portion of the book reads: “Always make those above you feel comfortably superior and show that you desire to impress and please them.”The post is being interpreted as a veiled reference to his perceived fallout for trying to outshine AAP convener and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.Last week, Chadha, a Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab, was removed by the party as its deputy leader in the Upper House. Party leaders had accused him of using parliamentary time for self-promotion and failing to target the ruling BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.Chadha has refuted all allegations and, through his latest post, hinted that he may be facing consequences for outshining his superior, Kejriwal.The book “48 Laws of Power” draws from historical examples to distill strategies for gaining, maintaining, and defending power. Among its key ideas are never outshining superiors, using absence to increase respect, and controlling options so others play by your rules.While often viewed as manipulative, the book emphasises patience, calculated action, and understanding human psychology. Its laws aim to help readers recognise power dynamics and protect themselves. Ultimately, the book presents power as a game requiring awareness, strategy, and emotional discipline.
