Satirical 'Dimagi Naxal Party' Instagram Account Gains Rapid Followers After Modi's Speech
Following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence Day reference to "dimagi Naxals," a satirical Instagram account named "Dimagi Naxal Party" rapidly gained over 3.7 lakh followers before becoming temporarily inaccessible. The account, which uses the slogan "Think Research Resist," has not disclosed its creators and claims to have faced shadow-banning. Its emergence parallels similar online political satire like the Cockroach Janata Party. The account's rapid rise reflects ongoing political discourse around ideological extremism in India.
