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…

Fake notes with 'movie shooting purpose only' written on them send police into tizzy in Sirsi
Sirsi (Karnataka), Apr 8 (PTI): The police in Uttar Kannada went into a tizzy on Tuesday after they found fake currency notes of Rs 500 denomination from a house in Dandeli with 'movie shooting purpose only' written on them.
Based on a tip-off, police searched a rented house at Gandhinagar in Dandeli and confiscated the fake currency notes along with a money counting machine.
Arshad Khan, who is said to be from Goa, was staying as a tenant in the house belonging to Noorjan Jhunjuwadkar, police said.
Police were informed after Jhunjuwadkar noticed that Khan was absent from the house for the past one month.
The fake currency notes had the inscription 'Reverse Bank of India' on them, but did not have the signature of the RBI governor, police said.
The notes were printed on a shining paper with only zeros written in the place of the number, and 'movie shooting purpose only' inscribed on them, police said.
A hunt is on to trace Khan to question him about the seizure, they added.
