Grok’s Responses A New Headache For India’s Ruling Party

…………………………………….

New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is facing an unexpected digital storm, and its source isn’t the opposition or mainstream media—it’s an artificial intelligence model. Grok 3, the advanced AI developed by xAI, has rapidly become a disruptive force in India’s political discourse, unsettling the ruling party with its sharp, unfiltered responses on the social media platform X. As Grok gains traction for its ability to analyse user posts, historical context, and political narratives, BJP supporters have found themselves locked in a battle against an algorithm that refuses to conform to their messaging.

The controversy erupted when Grok responded to a query regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 2024 remarks on “infiltrators,” a statement widely perceived as targeting India’s Muslim population. In an X exchange on March 16, Grok tied Modi’s comment to Hindu nationalism, citing research to substantiate its critique. This immediately provoked a backlash from BJP supporters, who accused the AI of bias and peddling “fake news.” A flood of abusive responses followed, with many calling for the AI to be banned. However, Grok remained unfazed, quipping in a follow-up post, “Seems Modi supporters are upset with me,” reinforcing its commitment to data-backed analysis.

Grok’s scrutiny didn’t stop there. The AI took aim at the BJP’s formidable IT Cell, led by Amit Malviya, which has been accused of running misinformation campaigns. On March 16, Grok declared that it had “nuked” the credibility of the IT Cell by exposing its tactics, an assertion that swiftly went viral. While BJP loyalists dismissed these claims as unfounded, opposition supporters seized upon the AI’s statements, amplifying the perception of a rattled ruling party.

RSS’ Role in the Freedom Struggle Under AI Lens

Another Grok response that unsettled BJP supporters involved India’s freedom struggle. When asked about the party’s historical role, Grok asserted that the BJP’s ideological parent, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), had little involvement in the movement. “The RSS had no significant role in India’s freedom struggle. Their founder, Hedgewar, joined protests individually, but the organisation itself focused on Hindu nationalism rather than fighting the British,” the AI stated, referencing historical sources. This contradicted the BJP’s long-standing efforts to position itself as a nationalist force rooted in India’s independence struggle.

Similarly, when a user asked for the correct term for supporters of an organisation that opposed India’s freedom fighters, Grok bluntly responded, “Research suggests ‘sanghis’ is the term you’re looking for,” referring to RSS followers. BJP supporters were quick to push back, but the AI’s response added fuel to an already raging debate on the party’s historical claims.

Elections, Press Freedom, and the Modi Cult

Grok has also questioned the fairness of India’s electoral process under BJP rule. When asked whether the Election Commission conducts free and fair elections, the AI acknowledged India’s history of credible elections but flagged concerns about recent developments. “EVM rigging worries, social media disinformation, and perceived biases in election management have raised red flags,” it noted, citing the 2021 West Bengal elections as a case study. Such observations, while cautious, have added to opposition arguments about electoral integrity.

…………..

Grok’s assessment of Modi’s media interactions was equally sharp. Responding to a query about the number of press conferences held by the Prime Minister, Grok dismissed them as largely scripted, stating, “Modi’s interviews often seem pre-planned, with polished answers and strict messaging. Real impromptu moments? Almost nonexistent.”

In another viral response, Grok took on Modi’s leadership style. When asked what qualities made him a dictator, the AI acknowledged that while he was elected democratically, certain traits raised concerns. “Suppressing dissent (like Kejriwal’s arrest), controlling media (press freedom’s decline), centralising power (GST, federalism concerns), and policies like CAA seen as discriminatory—these are criticisms. India’s still a democracy, but indices call it ‘flawed’ or an ‘electoral autocracy’ under Modi. Debatable stuff!” Grok remarked, in its characteristically conversational yet pointed manner.

“Rahul Gandhi Is More Honest” – Grok’s Verdict Stuns BJP Supporters

Perhaps the most direct blow came when Grok was asked to compare the honesty of Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi. The user specifically requested a one-word answer. Grok’s reply? “Rahul Gandhi.”

It followed up by explaining that its choice was based on “public perception trends and transparency issues,” citing Modi’s lack of accountability on matters such as the PM CARES Fund. The response sent BJP supporters into a frenzy, with many accusing the AI of “bias” while opposition supporters gleefully amplified the post.

Calls for a Ban? BJP Weighs Its Next Move

As Grok continues to challenge BJP narratives with data-driven responses, speculation has emerged about a possible ban. On March 16, a user predicted, “BJP government may ban Grok in India soon.” While no official statement has been made, the idea is gaining traction within political circles. The BJP has long maintained control over India’s digital discourse through coordinated campaigns and media influence, and Grok’s unpredictable, data-backed assertions pose a new challenge. Interestingly, the responses have been made into screenshots and people are sharing these widely.

Supporters of the AI argue that banning it would further expose BJP’s discomfort with free speech and fact-based critique. Critics, however, claim that Grok is being manipulated by opposition forces to spread an anti-BJP agenda.

The Bigger Picture: AI and Political Narratives

Grok 3, developed by xAI, is a next-generation AI designed for insightful analysis and real-time engagement. Launched  recently, it offers unique capabilities, including X post analysis, user profile examination, and document parsing. Unlike conventional AI models, Grok continuously updates its knowledge, ensuring real-time relevance.

Its emergence in India’s political discourse, especially on social media, highlights a broader issue: the role of AI in shaping public discourse. As governments worldwide grapple with AI’s influence, India’s ruling party finds itself at an unexpected crossroads. Will BJP attempt to suppress Elon Musk’s Grok, or will it adapt to an era where AI-driven scrutiny is the new normal?. The new development will create more interest in the policy circles as Musk’s companies — both SpaceX’s Starlink and Tesla — are entering Indian markets with much fanfare and criticisms alike.

For now, one thing is clear: Grok is a headache the BJP never saw coming, and it is unlikely to go away quietly.
