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…

Ibrahim emphasised that the organisation would be guided by the principles of 12th-century social reformer Basavanna and the architect of the Indian Constitution, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.
A veteran politician, Ibrahim served as Union Civil Aviation Minister during the tenure of H.D. Deve Gowda as Prime Minister and later headed the Karnataka unit of the Janata Dal (Secular). He was expelled from the JD(S) in 2023 on charges of anti-party activities.
His exit from the party followed sharp differences over the JD(S) decision to ally with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). As the then state president of the JD(S), Ibrahim had publicly criticised the alliance, claiming it was finalised without his knowledge. He had also reportedly convened meetings of his supporters and expressed support for the INDIA bloc.
