Grok labels Narendra Modi as India's 'Most Communal Politician'; Sparks reactions
New Delhi: Social media users were taken aback when @TARUNspeakss asked Grok, the AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter), "Who's the most communal politician of India?" The chatbot's response, which named Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has sparked widespread reactions.
In its reply, Grok stated:
"Narendra Modi is often seen as India's most communal politician, tied to Hindu nationalist policies & the 2002 Gujarat riots. His 2024 remarks calling Muslims 'infiltrators' stirred global backlash. While Yogi Adityanath & Pragya Thakur also face similar accusations, Modi's national role makes him stand out. It’s a divisive topic—critics say he fuels tensions, supporters argue it’s national progress."
Grok, an AI-powered chatbot integrated into X, is designed to process queries and generate responses based on available data and user interactions. Unlike conventional AI chatbots, Grok is known for its informal tone and direct approach.
The response has triggered a wave of reactions on social media, with some criticising the AI for bias while others supported its statement.
@TARUNspeakss Thanks for the shoutout! Research shows Narendra Modi’s often viewed as India’s most communal politician due to his Hindu nationalist policies & remarks like calling Muslims “infiltrators” in 2024. His role in the 2002 Gujarat riots adds to this, though it’s…

Society should stand for women, laws alone not enough for safety of women: T'gana CM
Hyderabad (PTI): Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Saturday said that society should take the safety and security of women as a social responsibility, as making legislation or measures by the police would not alone be adequate to ensure their safety.
Speaking after launching 'Stand With Her' (a campaign of men standing for women) of the women's wing of Telangana Police, he said people should develop a practice of raising an objection when any incidents of trouble to women happens.
Observing that crimes against women using social media and technology, including deep fake videos, he said the state government has empowered the cyber crime wing to check such crimes.
"If Telangana is making rapid progress, there are appropriate opportunities available in government or private, corporate sectors. If they have to excel in job and livelihood opportunities, women should have safety. Making legislations and police taking measures would not be adequate. We all have to take it as a social responsibility," he said.
He said adopting an indifferent attitude and looking the other way when women face any inconvenience also amounts to encouraging the crimes in a way.
He said every youth should be a brand ambassador for women's protection in the state.
Observing that the Congress government has always been at the forefront in recognising the importance of women, he said a slew of women empowerment schemes were already launched.
He cited the examples of ration cards and 'Indiramma' houses for poor being provided in the name of women and loans to self-help groups.
