Delhi (Rajeev Sharma): A day after shifting political allegiance, Raghav Chadha has reportedly witnessed a steep decline in his social media following, with online trackers indicating a significant dip in his Instagram numbers.
Chadha, who recently left the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) along with several other Rajya Sabha members, appears to have faced an immediate reaction from his digital audience. Unofficial estimates suggest that his follower count fell by nearly one million within a short span, dropping from around 14.6 million to approximately 13.6 million.
While Instagram does not release real-time verified data and Chadha has not issued any statement regarding the figures, the reported decline has sparked widespread discussion across social media platforms.
Observers believe the drop reflects a strong response from a section of his supporters, particularly younger users who had previously engaged with his political messaging. The development highlights how shifts in political affiliation can quickly translate into visible changes in public sentiment online.
The episode also underscores the growing role of social media as a barometer of political perception, where public figures often face immediate feedback from their followers following major decisions.
Despite the reported setback in numbers, it remains to be seen how Chadha’s digital presence evolves in the coming days as political reactions continue to unfold.
