‘Dimagi Naxal Party’ springs up on Instagram after PM Modi’s remark, over 1 lakh people follow in 24 hours

Following a remark by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a satirical political party called the "Dimagi Naxal Party" has emerged on social media platforms, particularly on Instagram, where it has gained over 1.81 lakh followers within 24 hours of its creation. The party's Instagram account and a corresponding X account have also been established, with support numbering over 7,000 followers on the latter platform.

The party's bio on both platforms states its motto as "Think | Research | Resist." The founder of the party is described as "A Dimagi Indian," with its co-founder listed as someone possessing "56 Inch ka." The party claims Bhagat Singh as its ideological inspiration and has faced cyberattacks on its Instagram account. The party's rise follows PM Modi's warning against "dimagi Naxals," or intellectual Naxals, during his Independence Day address, where he urged to identify and isolate such individuals.

The move has drawn criticism from opposition parties, who argue that the label is a sign of PM Modi's desperation.
