Summary
Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju accused the Congress of using an AI-generated photograph to falsely portray a packed Ramlila Maidan during the INDIA bloc rally on November 1, 2026. Rijiju posted the allegation on X, saying the AI image was not even properly made.
The claim intensified BJP criticism of the rally’s turnout—BJP MP Sambit Patra also said thousands of chairs remained empty—but the article does not independently verify whether the image was AI-generated.
