Why Did this Young BJP MP Face Embarrassment After Meeting Trump?

India’s attempt to bring global attention to the alleged threat from ‘Operation Sindoor’ has repeatedly entangled itself in new complications. When a delegation of Indian MPs, led by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, visited the United States, a young BJP MP who was part of the group ended up in the spotlight—albeit for the wrong reasons—due to his excessive political ambition. What irked this MP the most was that fellow delegate Milind Deora had pre-scheduled a meeting with Donald Trump Jr., which took place in a cordial atmosphere. Wanting a similar opportunity, the BJP MP tried to arrange his own meeting with Trump Jr., but failed. Frustrated, he boldly declared to his colleagues, “Now I will meet Donald Trump himself.” He was assisted in this effort by an old friend residing in the U.S., whose conduct is often considered mysterious. This friend took the MP to Trump’s private residence in Florida—Mar-a-Lago, which has been Trump’s personal estate since 1985…..
…
Now back to the young BJP MP—he was introduced to Trump as someone “very close to the country’s head.” However, in typical Trump fashion, his behavior toward the MP was far from respectful, with offhand remarks that were reportedly quite hurtful. The MP left Mar-a-Lago deeply embarrassed, in a scene reminiscent of the saying: “Bade be-aabroo hokar tere kooche se hum nikle”. The MP never spoke about the incident, but news has wings—and this one flew across the ocean and landed on Raisina Hill. According to sources, the party leadership summoned him and gave him a serious dressing-down in the presence of three senior leaders. At one point, there was even talk of expelling him from the party. However, after his earnest apologies and repeated pleas, he appears to have been granted a reprieve, for now.
The above - I did a diligent search, and as far as I can ascertain, POTUS was not in Mar-a-Lago since the beginning of May till present. Therefore, the story is likely fake news as presented (i.e., meeting DJT at Mar-a-Lago).
It would be very unusual for deora to break diplomatic rank and try pulling in such a stunt .
As far as diplomacy is concerned discipline has been stellar . Since 2014 no Indian diplomat be it the top dogs like PM , NSA ,MEA or some babu have spoken a word that is more than necessary or uncalled for . Would be highly unusual.

gakakkad ji,
deora is far too savvy to get involved in any such mess, especially when he is at the mercy and is also dependent on the goodwill of his masters to stay afloat
The rumor is that it was Tejasvi Surya. But even Wikipedia's list of Trump trips does not support the story. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of ... ump_(2025)
Probably should have posted this in the social media thread, instead of India-US relations, my apologies.
Given the sensitive history and legal controversies surrounding Guantanamo, I respectfully urge the Ministry to inquire into the status and legal treatment of any Indian nationals detained there. In cases involving low-risk individuals, including those awaiting deportation for civil immigration issues, it is especially critical that their human rights and consular protections are ensured.
The Indian government has a strong record of defending its citizens abroad, and your intervention could help ensure justice, transparency, and humane treatment.
