The Aam Aadmi Party on Thursday posted an AI-generated video of Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal receiving blessings from the late BR Ambedkar along with the words: "Jai Bhim".
In the AI-made video, Ambedkar, the architect of Indian Constitution, can be seen placing his hand on Kejriwal's forehead with Delhi's iconic India Gate in the backdrop.
Kejriwal can be heard saying: "Mujhe shakti dijiye Babasaheb, taki main un logo se lad saku, jo aapke samvidhan ka apman karte hai (Give me strength Babasaheb, so that I can fight those who insult your Constitution).

The post comes amid a raging face-off between the opposition parties, particularly the INDIA bloc, and the BJP-led NDA over the Constitution.
The opposition has repeatedly accused BJP of trying to alter the Constitution of the country, while the saffron party has vehemently rejected the charges.
Earlier on Thursday, Kejriwal targeted Union Home Minister Amit Shah over his remarks on Babasaheb in Parliament, saying "Ambedkar is no less than the god of modern India".
"You have to choose between Baba Saheb and the BJP. Jo Baba Saheb se kare pyaar, vo BJP ko kare inkaar (those who love Baba Saheb should reject the BJP)," said Kejriwal during his visit to Bhagwan Valmiki Mandir at Mandir Marg here.
"These words in themselves were very painful and insulting to Ambedkar. But the tone in which he said it seemed that how much he hates Baba Saheb. At first, I thought it must have come out of his mouth, but next day even Prime Minister Narendra Modi also supported Shah," he alleged.
The AAP supremo claimed this shows that Shah had said it in Parliament deliberately in order to give a message what they feel about Ambedkar.
Shah has come under heavy attack from the opposition parties over his remarks on BR Ambedkar in Rajya Sabha on Tuesday.
"Abhi ek fashion ho gaya hai - Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar. Itna naam agar bhagwan ka lete to saat janmon tak swarg mil jata (It has become a fashion to say Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar'. If they had taken God's name so many times, they would have got a place in heaven)," Shah had said.
