BJP's Social Media Campaign on 'Dimagi Naxal' Sparks Political Debate and Youth Outreach Efforts
The BJP has launched an intensified social media campaign using memes and satire centered on Prime Minister Modi's 'Dimagi Naxal' phrase to counter opposition narratives, particularly targeting Congress. This approach, led by new social media convener Deepak Mhaskey, involves coordinated efforts across state units. Opposition parties, including Congress and the Cockroach Janta Party, have criticized the campaign as threatening and divisive, alleging it incites violence against dissenting youth. Meanwhile, BJP leadership is also focusing on broader youth outreach amid recent protests and political challenges.
