Guwahati, October 25, 2026: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has taken an unexpected detour from political speeches and election rallies to the dance floor — at least in the world of artificial intelligence. An AI-generated video showing Sarma performing the iconic moves of South Korean rapper PSY’s global hit Gangnam Style alongside two Assam ministers has gone viral on social media, crossing 2.5 million views.

Shared by the official Instagram account of the Office of Himanta Biswa Sarma, the clip features the chief minister dancing with state Agriculture Minister Pijush Hazarika and Finance Minister Jayanta Mallabaruah. The trio is depicted performing the song’s signature horse-riding dance moves in a light-hearted take on the familiar public image of political leaders.

The video has attracted widespread attention because it places Assam’s top political figures in an unusual setting, swapping campaign songs and political messaging for a globally recognised pop-culture phenomenon.

AI Turns Assam’s Political Leadership Into Dancers

The viral clip uses artificial intelligence to depict Sarma and the two ministers dancing in sync to Gangnam Style, the 2012 hit by South Korean rapper PSY.

The song became an international sensation for its catchy beat, humorous choreography and distinctive horse-riding dance. Its music video was the first on YouTube to cross one billion views, marking a major milestone in the platform’s history.

In the AI-generated version, the three leaders appear to perform the track’s signature steps, creating an unexpected crossover between Indian politics and global internet culture.

The video is a digitally created depiction, not a genuine recording of the chief minister and his colleagues performing the dance together. Its AI-generated nature is central to the appeal of the clip, which has drawn attention for its playful presentation of public figures. <Cite refs={[“turn827988search2″,”turn827988search3”]}/>

Himanta Biswa Sarma Is No Stranger to Viral Dance Moments

Although the Gangnam Style clip is AI-generated, Sarma has previously attracted attention for dancing at public gatherings and election campaign events.

Videos of the Assam chief minister performing energetic dance moves at rallies have circulated widely on social media. His routines have often featured rhythmic clapping, waving his arms and jumping to the beat of campaign music.

The latest video builds on that familiar public image but gives it a pop-culture twist. Instead of the political tracks usually associated with his public appearances, the AI-created clip places him alongside his ministerial colleagues in a routine inspired by an international music hit. <Cite refs={[“turn827988search0″,”turn827988search1”]}/>

Who Are the Ministers Featured in the Video?

The AI-generated clip features two members of the Assam government alongside the chief minister.

  • Pijush Hazarika: Assam’s Agriculture Minister, who appears alongside Sarma in the dance sequence.
  • Jayanta Mallabaruah: Assam’s Finance Minister, who also features in the video.

Their inclusion has added to the clip’s novelty, with the AI edit presenting the chief minister and two senior colleagues as participants in an informal dance routine rather than in their usual official roles.

Social Media Reacts as Video Crosses 2.5 Million Views

The video has generated substantial engagement online, crossing 2.5 million views after being shared on the chief minister’s official Instagram account.

Users have responded to the unusual combination of political personalities, AI-generated choreography and a globally popular song. The clip’s reach reflects the growing role of short-form video and internet trends in shaping how politicians communicate with online audiences.

While public figures increasingly use social media to share policy announcements, campaign updates and official events, humorous or unconventional posts can also attract significant attention beyond their usual political following.

In this case, the combination of a recognisable song and an AI-generated performance has helped the video travel beyond conventional political content. <Cite refs={[“turn827988search0″,”turn827988search2″,”turn827988search3”]}/>

AI, Politics and the Rise of Viral Digital Content

The video also highlights how generative AI is changing political communication. Digital tools can now create convincing depictions of public figures in situations that never occurred, allowing political offices and social media users to experiment with humour, entertainment and trending formats.

Such content can attract attention and make public figures appear more relatable to online audiences. However, it also reinforces the importance of clearly identifying AI-generated material so viewers do not mistake synthetic footage for an authentic recording.

In this instance, reports identify the dance video as AI-generated and say it was shared by the chief minister’s official account. It should therefore be understood as a digital entertainment clip rather than evidence that the three leaders actually performed the dance together.

For Sarma, the viral post offers a lighter moment amid the demands of state politics. For social media users, it is an unusual meeting of Assam’s political leadership with one of the internet’s most recognisable dance trends.
