‘Doglapanti’: Raghav Chadha faces massive backlash over viral photos with PM Narendra Modi · livemint.com

A famous Indian politician named Raghav Chadha met the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, and posted photos of the meeting online.

He wrote that it was a privilege and a morning he would always remember.

But many people got very angry about this.

That is because Chadha used to be part of a different political party called AAP.

Earlier this year, he left AAP and joined Modi's political party, the BJP.

People found old videos where he criticized Modi in the past.

Now they think he is pretending to like Modi just to please him.

Some call this 'doglapanti,' which means acting too eager to please someone powerful.

People made mean jokes and angry comments, and he lost almost two million followers on Instagram.

Many people feel he let down the regular people who trusted him.
