A fresh political face-off has erupted in Uttar Pradesh between the BJP and the Samajwadi Party over an AI-generated video featuring Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The BJP has accused Akhilesh Yadav and the SP of insulting Sanatan traditions, sadhus and Hindu faith through the video.
The Samajwadi Party has denied creating or being linked to the video, saying Akhilesh Yadav only shared it during a press conference after receiving it from another source. SP leaders have also accused BJP supporters of previously using AI-generated content to target Akhilesh Yadav.
The exchange has triggered a fresh tit-for-tat battle over AI-generated political content, adding another flashpoint to the ongoing BJP-SP rivalry ahead of the Uttar Pradesh elections.
