AI-generated image of BJP’s Babulal Soren sparks row ahead of Jharkhand bypoll

RANCHI: Ahead of the Ghatsila Assembly by-election in Jharkhand, a misleading AI-generated image purportedly showing BJP candidate Babulal Soren has gone viral on social media, sparking an uproar.

According to BJP leaders, the image was deliberately circulated to tarnish Soren’s reputation and mislead voters. Reacting sharply, BJP spokesperson Ajay Shah accused the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) of resorting to “the lowest level of politics” after sensing defeat in the by-poll.
