Raghav Chadha loses followers after joining BJP

Indian politician Raghav Chadha has reportedly lost nearly one million Instagram followers within a day of joining the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The sharp drop highlights a significant shift in his appeal among younger demographics, moving from a 'Gen Z favourite' to a source of 'Gen Z blowback.' The mass unfollowing suggests a strong negative reaction from his base to his political realignment. This incident underscores the volatile nature of social media influence in Indian politics.
