A 13-second video of CM Arvind Kejriwal is getting viral on the internet, where he is heard speaking about corruption.
In that video, he said, “I have not seen a single economist writing about corruption ruining the country. Corruption should go on.”
A Facebook user writes, “AAP’s corruption must continue!”
Fact Check:
We reverse searched the video and found that the video is clipped and is actually from an event celebrating news organization lokmat’s 50th anniversary in Nagpur Maharashtra on 8th of May.
The full video was posted on the official account of the Aam Janta Party.
आजकल बड़े-बड़े अर्थशास्त्री लिख रहे हैं कि Freebies चालू रहा तो देश बर्बाद हो जाएगा।
एक भी अर्थशास्त्री ने ये नहीं लिखा कि "भ्रष्टाचार" चालू रहा तो देश बर्बाद हो जाएगा।
किसी ने ये भी नहीं लिखा कि नेताओं की Freebies बंद होनी चाहिए। बस जनता की बंद होनी चाहिए।
