# Raghav Chadha meets PM Modi, calls it a morning to cherish 2026-08-08T07:41:43+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet BJP Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday and called it “a morning I will cherish”. Chadha, who left the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in April with six other MPs to join the BJP, described the interaction as “detailed and enriching”. He thanked Modi for his “insights and guidance”. The meeting comes a day after the PM hosted over 45 MPs from NDA allies, including rebel Trinamool Congress MPs and Shiv Sena members, at a breakfast meeting where Modi stressed discipline in Parliament. Political observers see Chadha's meeting as significant ahead of the Punjab assembly elections. Chadha, once seen as AAP's key strategist in the state, is expected to play a prominent role for the BJP in Punjab. The meeting also followed Shiromani Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal's meeting with Modi on Friday, sparking speculation about a possible BJP-SAD alliance revival. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - ndtv.com - news.abplive.com - indiatoday.in Tags: BJP, Narendra Modi, NEET controversy, party switch, Raghav Chadha, Rajya Sabha Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/raghav-chadha-meets-pm-modi-after-joining-bjp/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
