Following his swearing-in, Chouhan promptly visited BJP patriarch LK Advani in New Delhi, a move symbolically marking the commencement of his new national-level political journey. The meeting, described as a 'courtesy call' lasting around 20 minutes, highlighted Chouhan's deep-rooted connections within the party.
