Raghav Chadha, the slick AAP poster boy everyone loved to call the “Instagram PM,” reportedly jumped ship to the bjp — and the internet wasted zero seconds making him pay for it. In less than 24 hours, his once-bulletproof instagram empire cratered. Screenshots don’t lie: follower count plunged from 14.6 million to 13.8 million. That’s roughly 800,000 people hitting unfollow faster than you can say “political betrayal.”


And it gets worse. While the account quietly scrubbed over 160 old posts (damage control much?), the expected flood of new bjp “bhakt” followers never showed up. zero hero’s welcome. Instead, it’s been a full-on Gen Z massacre — the same young crowd that once hyped his polished, camera-ready vibe is now ghosting him in droves.



The savage verdict spreading like wildfire?  

• Bhakts aren’t touching him with a ten-foot pole.  
• Gen Z is mass-unfollowing in protest.  
• He might soon be forced to buy bot followers just to stay relevant.



And the cherry on top: critics are already writing his political obituary in Punjab. “He won’t win punjab either,” one viral take declared. From rising star in Arvind Kejriwal’s party to this public humiliation, Chadha’s big move looks less like a strategic masterstroke and more like career suicide.



In the brutal arena of indian politics and social media, loyalty evaporates overnight. One switch, one unfollow storm, and suddenly the “Instagram PM” is trending for all the wrong reasons. The numbers don’t lie — and right now, they’re screaming that Raghav Chadha’s reinvention is off to the most disastrous start imaginable.
