The Bharatiya Janata Party Information Technology Cell (BJP IT Cell) is a specialized department of the Indian political party Bharatiya Janata Party, responsible for managing the party's digital strategy, voter analytics, and social media outreach. It coordinates online campaigns, promotes party policy narratives, and amplifies the communications of party leaders across various digital platforms. Since August 2026, the cell has been headed by Deepak Mhaskey
According to reporting by The Washington Post, the department operates an extensive digital network comprising around 150,000 campaign workers who distribute content across WhatsApp groups to mobilize supporters. The cell has also been subject to scrutiny and criticisms from political opponents, independent researchers, and media watchdogs regarding its methods, including allegations of spreading misinformation, contributing to social tensions, and promoting polarizing narratives targeting religious minorities.
