# Raghav Chadha faces backlash for ‘doglapanti’ after Modi meeting 2026-08-08T17:50:37+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Raghav Chadha, former AAP MP who defected to the BJP in April 2026, shared photos of his meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 8 August, calling it 'a morning I will cherish'. The post has over 8 lakh views on X, but triggered massive online trolling. Users accused him of hypocrisy, reviving old videos of him criticising the BJP. Many called it 'doglapanti'. Chadha, married to actress Parineeti Chopra, has reportedly lost nearly 2 million Instagram followers since the defection. He had earlier sought a Delhi High Court injunction against viral memes, but the court dismissed the plea in May, ruling that political satire is essential to democracy. Livemint reports that the backlash also stems from his silence on student protests against the NEET paper leak. ## Coverage - livemint.com Tags: AAP, BJP, PM Modi, political defection, Raghav Chadha, social media backlash Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/raghav-chadha-faces-backlash-for-doglapanti-after-modi-meeting/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
