Screenshots of breaking news alerts from 2019, saying the party made such promises, including reduction of CRPF in Kashmir & amendments to AFSPA, are being shared as linked to 2024 polls.
Original video of the rally was shared on Modi's X account on 3 April, 2019. Same video was also circulated in 2022 with X users claiming it showed visuals of a rally in Mangaluru & Kutch.
The original video featuring DMK's Thomas Alva Edison was uploaded on social media platforms in January, way before implementation of Model Code of Conduct for upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
In the 19-second clip, 2 men are seen arguing, punching each other. The video is being shared on social media as 'BJP vs INC' fight but is from a debate aired on 1TV Kabul in 2016.
In original video, he is heard criticising both Congress & Modi over the Katchatheevu issue. However, the 2 sides have used only certain parts of the speech to attack each other.
The video on social media depicts a man seated in a car wearing a skullcap. He addresses Indian Muslims, falsely introducing himself as Asif Zardari from Pakistan.
The image, which shows people holding 'no vote to BJP' posters, is from a protest carried out ahead of West Bengal assembly elections in 2021. It has no links with 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
Original video of the incident from last yr shows that during a rally in Odisha, a fight broke out after a BJP leader was stopped from approaching party state president's jeep.
Video shows man removing posters, seemingly of AAP, and leaving BJP flags untouched. Original video is of NSUI's posters being removed in Jaipur, way before model code of conduct kicked in.
Published by Penguin India, ‘Fake News: Spot It, Stop It’ by Gaurav Sood will be released on 11 December on Softcover, ThePrint’s online venue to launch non-fiction books.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
