New Delhi: On 15 October, the BJP’s Suresh Kumar Sharma, Bihar’s Minister Of Urban Development & Housing Department, and an MLA of Muzaffarpur, shared a post on Facebook and on Twitter featuring a flyover lit by street lamps. The post says that 17,554 streets lights have been set up in Muzaffarpur.

He wrote, “Have worked, will work, will develop Muzaffarpur”, and added the hashtags “#Development_for_Muzaffarpur” and “#Biharkapragatipath”.

Suresh Kumar Sharma यांनी वर पोस्ट केले गुरुवार, १५ ऑक्टोबर, २०२०

 

Fact check

The photograph that Sharma has used in the post is actually not from Muzaffarpur at all. It is the RHS flyover at Bairamalguda junction, Hyderabad, which was inaugurated in August this year by the Telangana Rashtra Samithi’s (TRS) K. Taraka Rama Rao.

The working president of TRS had shared this image in a tweet on 9 August, in which he said he would be opening the RHS flyover in Hyderabad the next day. He had shared a few other images as well.
