Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 12 (ANI): Member of Parliament Raghav Chadha shared a personal story about his early political journey at the FICCI Young Leaders Summit 2025, held at Taj Lands End in Mumbai.
According to a press release, Chadha, while speaking during a fireside chat, revealed that senior leader Jyotiraditya Scindia had supported him after he lost his first election.
"After I lost my first election and was dejected, it was Jyotiraditya Scindia who consoled me. He told me that it's fine and that defeat is not the end of the world," said Chadha, as quoted in the release.
The young MP also mentioned how his family was initially hesitant about his joining politics.
He added, "Coming from a middle-class family, especially my mother, who never wanted me to join politics, I had to convince her for 4-5 months before she agreed to let me contest the election."
