After Prime Minister Narendra Modi labeled opposition leaders as 'dimaagi Naxal', the BJP launched a series of memes targeting rival parties across social media.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently described certain opposition figures as "dimaagi Naxal" in a televised address, a phrase that quickly caught the attention of political commentators and netizens alike.
The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) seized the moment, commissioning a wave of graphic memes that juxtaposed the Prime Minister's remark with caricatures of opposition leaders. The memes, shared widely on platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, portray the opposition as extremist elements, echoing the language used by the Prime Minister.
Opposition parties responded by denouncing the meme campaign as a smear tactic, urging the BJP to focus on policy debates rather than personal attacks. Meanwhile, the hashtag associated with the meme series trended nationally, drawing both support and criticism from the online community.
Political analysts note that the BJP's rapid meme deployment reflects a broader strategy to dominate digital narratives ahead of upcoming electoral contests, leveraging humor and viral content to reinforce its messaging.
