News India Live, Digital Desk: Digital Campaigning: Bihar’s electoral politics has always been very interesting and stirring, right? But this time the change that is being seen is a bit different and high-tech! If you are wondering who will get a party ticket or how your favorite leader will enter the election field, then you have to know that this time technology is going to play a big game. Now not only speeches and public meetings, but also using Artificial Intelligence (AI), YouTube and IT, leaders are strongly strengthening their claim.
Bihar elections: ‘Digital Dangal’ of leaders, AI-YouTube are making their tickets
This is the time when the warmth of the election starts increasing and every leader does one day and night to get a ticket from his party. But the race for this time is a little different and more technical than before. Now the leaders are not only dependent on the old, traditional methods, but are resorting to modern technology to prove themselves to be the best contender in front of the party and the public.
So after all, what is new in this election game this time?
Nowadays, the contenders are also making their biodata in a big new style for tickets. In this, they are not only giving account of their work done, along with links of YouTube. These links consist of videos of their social work, crowds in their rallies, or their popularity among the public. Many such young leaders who have left big jobs abroad and entered politics, they are referring to their technical understanding in their biodata and their good identity on social media.
AI and digital dominance:
The Election Commission is also monitoring the increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deepfek technology and has also issued some guidelines regarding them so that voters do not get into any deception. This shows that leaders and political parties are now using social media very carefully and strategically. An example of Bihar Congress was revealed, where an AI-generated video related to PM Modi’s mother went viral, which had to be removed later at the behest of the High Court. This incident shows that the leaders have now understood the power of social media and AI well.
Some parties like Congress have even invited applications for tickets online. Those applying in this have to give photos of photos and YouTube videos with their current location to prove their activism. Many candidates have even shared links of public bites (people’s views) in their favor. It clearly states that in this race to get a ticket, everyone is adopting every digital stake to make themselves the most capable and popular among the public.
Other parties and BJP method:
Most of the BJP ticket contenders are describing themselves as the party’s loyal soldier and inspired by Prime Minister Modi’s style of working. There is a mention of being associated with the party for 20-25 years and working in different positions in his bio-data. Leaders winning in panchayat and municipal elections are also dreaming of becoming MLAs. Prashant Kishore’s Jan Suraj Party has adopted a different way for tickets; He has started the process of selecting candidates by taking the application fee, where candidates will be elected with direct participation of the public.
All this suggests that the election battle in Bihar is no longer limited to rallies and speeches on the ground, but is also being fought as fast in the digital world. The leader who will use technology more effectively, will be able to convey his point to the public and perhaps it will be able to go ahead in this difficult race of tickets.
