Similarly, the post has also gone viral on Facebook.

Claim:

The image being shared is of the recent rally of PM Narendra Modi in Bihar.

Fact Check:

The Logical Indian did a reverse search image and found that the same image was published on Narendra Modi’s website. The image is of PM Modi’s NDA Rally at Patna, Bihar and was published on March 3, 2019. This rally was held during Lok Sabha campaigns.

On comparing the viral and original image, one can observe both the images were same.

On closely observing the people in the image, The Logical Indian also saw that no one was wearing masks. According to the current election commission campaigning guidelines, ‘Precautionary measures including wearing face masks, using sanitizers, maintain physical distancing, is a duty cast upon all the stakeholders in the larger interest of public health.’

Thus, The Logical Indian concludes that an old image of Narendra Modi’s rally has gone viral with the false claims of it being from the recent rally.
