BJP, Congress turn 80s AI trend into political meme war

A new social media trend has politicians reimagining their current images as vibrant 1980s portraits using AI technology. The phenomenon has quickly evolved into a form of political satire, with the BJP and Congress leveraging it to exchange remarks.
Leaders including Piyush Goyal and Kiren Rijiju have participated in the retro wave, while Rahul Gandhi has also joined with AI-generated images of his own. The trend reflects how political parties are adopting viral social media formats to engage with supporters and rival parties.
