Assam BJP Fires Social Media Co-Convenor

Ron Bikash Gaurav was removed by the Assam BJP on February 11, 2026, after an AI-generated video uploaded to the party’s X account depicted Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma symbolically shooting at Muslims and garnered more than 500,000 views before deletion. The state BJP said Gaurav acted without authorization, and Chief Minister Sarma said he was unaware and that a party leader filed a case. The incident highlights gaps in social-media vetting and moderation for political communication.
