BJP's New IT Chief

After nearly a decade, the leadership of the BJP's IT cell has undergone a significant change. Amit Malviya, who previously managed the cell with an assertive approach, deliberately shaping narratives through a mix of verified and unverified stories, has stepped down, according to sources familiar with the matter. The recent departure of Malviya and the subsequent formation of a new team have sparked considerable speculation, but it remains to be seen how effectively this new team will perform.

The reasons behind Amit Malviya's exit remain unclear, especially given his past posts that have sparked controversy, spread false claims, and caused public outrage. Many did not anticipate his departure from the IT cell,  source adds . Some analysts suggest that the failure to effectively counter the social media attacks from Gen Z users and the CJP camp might have contributed to this change. BJP supporters remain uncertain about the new team’s role, with widespread speculation that they may employ similar tactics, such as vehemently responding to online attacks from Gen Z and CJP supporters and posting reels and songs aimed at mocking these groups.
