AI Video War Intensifies Between Akhilesh Yadav and BJP Ahead of 2027 UP Polls

Artificial intelligence-generated videos have become a new tool in the political battle between the BJP and Samajwadi Party (SP) ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.

SP chief Akhilesh Yadav has shown several AI-generated videos during recent press conferences. Some videos feature characters resembling Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, while others portray Akhilesh. The clips focus on issues such as prices, women’s safety and civic services.

The BJP and SP have both denied creating derogatory AI videos targeting leaders of the rival party. SP leaders say party workers and supporters create and share such content. BJP spokesperson Rakesh Tripathi said the party uses AI tools but has not created or uploaded derogatory videos through its official platforms.

Akhilesh has said the coming election will involve both ground-level campaigning and digital platforms. He has also called for investigations into the sources of videos targeting him.

The growing use of AI shows how social media content and political satire are becoming part of campaign messaging ahead of the 2027 polls.
