The Story in Brief
Raghav Chadha, who left the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) months ago, shared on Saturday his first pictures with Prime Minister Narendra Modi since the switch. In a post on X, the Rajya Sabha member described their meeting as a 'detailed and enriching interaction' and said he would cherish the morning. Chadha shared two photographs of the meeting.
Chadha, once known as Arvind Kejriwal's 'blue-eyed boy', had led a group of seven AAP Rajya Sabha members who merged with the BJP in April. Days before this meeting, he had strongly backed the Centre's anti-paper leak Bill in Parliament, praising Modi's move to introduce stricter laws against paper leaks.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that paints every defection as a betrayal might miss the point when a leader like Chadha, once called Kejriwal's 'blue-eyed boy', now praises Modi's anti-paper leak Bill. Instead of crying foul, perhaps the question should be: does this shift reflect a genuine alignment on policy, or is it just another case of political convenience? The real test will be whether Chadha continues to back such legislation with the same vigour now that he is in the BJP.
