Sanjay Raut behind AI-generated audio clip, doing Rahul’s bidding: BJP
BJP chief spokesperson Navnath Ban demanded the registration of a case against Sanjay Raut, if warranted, and a probe into whether the Sena (UBT) MP received funding from Rahul Gandhi Gandhi
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has accused Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut of orchestrating an AI-generated audio clip allegedly aimed at defaming the party. BJP spokesperson Navnath Ban demanded a case be registered against Raut, if warranted, and called for a probe into whether the Sena (UBT) leader received funding from Rahul Gandhi in connection with the alleged operation.
Raut is alleged to have created the clip, which claims a ₹500 crore payout to Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange, over a two-month period using AI to combine voice samples found on YouTube. The audio clip, released by Jarange in Jalna, claims that ₹500 crore was delivered to him through Shrikant Shinde, the son of Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
BJP leaders Eknath Shinde and Jarange are reportedly embroiled in a political confrontation, with Shinde challenging Jarange to prove allegations of securing the ₹500 crore. The BJP claims the alleged operation is politically beneficial to Congress and Shiv Sena (UBT) while damaging the BJP, Shinde, and Jarange.
