Raghav Chadha resigned from the Aam Aadmi Party and joined the BJP, leading six other Rajya Sabha MPs in the same switch — a move that followed an open rift with AAP leadership, including a demotion by Arvind Kejriwal. The defection cost him over one million Instagram followers within 24 hours and dealt a significant blow to AAP's strength in the upper house.
Raghav Chadha, an Indian politician and chartered accountant, is trending after resigning from the Aam Aadmi Party to join the BJP alongside six other Rajya Sabha MPs.
