Raghav Chadha Delivers Parcels Door-to-Door in Viral Video
New Delhi: A major political storm has erupted following Raghav Chadha’s decision to leave the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). However, the repercussions have not been limited to the political sphere alone—a significant shockwave has also been felt across social media platforms.
According to reports, Chadha’s Instagram follower count has witnessed a massive decline.
Friday: Approximately 14.6 million followers
Saturday: Dropped to 13.4 million
This means that in just 24 hours, nearly one million people unfollowed him.
Analysts believe that this decline is primarily the result of an ‘Unfollow’ campaign spearheaded by Gen Z users. Hashtags such as “#unfollowRaghavChadha” have been trending rapidly across social media, thereby impacting his popularity.
Raghav Chadha had established an identity as a young leader who addressed common, everyday issues—
He even once worked briefly as a delivery partner, an act that further solidified his image as a leader with a strong “ground connect.”
The decision to switch political parties did not sit well with many young people—particularly those who viewed him as a distinct and different kind of leader. This is the primary reason behind the sudden shift observed in his online image.
The departure of Chadha—along with six other Rajya Sabha MPs—is being viewed as a significant setback for the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP. The biggest question now remains: Will Raghav Chadha be able to regain his young fan base, or is this decline in popularity here to stay for the long haul?
