Raghav Chadha Meets PM Modi Following AAP Switch to BJP
A man named Raghav Chadha is a leader in India.
He used to belong to a political party called the Aam Aadmi Party, or AAP.
Earlier this year, he and six other leaders joined a different party called the Bharatiya Janata Party, or BJP.
Now Chadha met the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, for the first time.
Chadha shared two photos of their talk on a social media site called X. He said it was a morning he will always cherish.
He thanked the Prime Minister for his time and guidance.
Chadha now works in the Rajya Sabha, part of India's Parliament.
He also supported new rules to stop exam paper leaks.
This meeting shows how he is settling into his new role with the BJP.
