MUMBAI: The Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray (UBT) on Friday said that the much-publicised ‘India AI Impact Summit 2026′, intended to be a global showcase of India’s technological prowess, has instead drawn intense international scrutiny and domestic criticism.
“While the summit aimed to highlight the nation’s Aatmanirbhar (self-reliant) initiatives, a series of fraudulent displays by a private educational institution turned the celebratory event into a source of global ridicule, ” the party has said.
The Thackeray camp in the party’s mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ took a swipe at the BJP-led government at the Centre, saying that it has become synonymous with “events”.
“Prime Minister Modi himself prefers to remain within this framework, ensuring that any programme or initiative is conducted in a celebratory or event-like manner. The ‘India AI Impact Summit, 2026’, a global exhibition organised in New Delhi, was no different. Like previous government-sponsored events, this summit met a similar fate. Instead of earning global acclaim, India faced international embarrassment due to the deceptions of Galgotias University, it said.
