Assembly elections in Gujarat are to be held end of this year. Several parties, including the BJP and the Congress, have stepped up their election campaigns. At the same time, the Aam Aadmi Party is also preparing to contest the Gujarat elections. Meanwhile, hoarding of the Aam Aadmi Party is going viral on social media.
Along with the hoarding, it was written that “If you do not know Gujarati, then I will tell what is written on this poster… Aam Aadmi Party writes…Gujarat will read Namaz, give up unnecessary tendencies like Bhagwat Week and Satyanarayan Katha.” Sharing this poster, a user wrote – “please people of Gujarat don’t do, What the Hindus of Delhi and Punjab did.”
Fact Check:
DFRAC did a reverse image search to fact-check the viral hoarding. During this time, the team found many other similar hoardings. These were set up by the local unit of the Aam Aadmi Party in Gujarat. In the hoarding it was written – “Na darenge, na jhukenge, na rukenge”.
At the same time, the viral hoarding was also slammed by the official Twitter account of Aam Aadmi Party Gujarat @AAPGujarat. “We want the politics of Gujarat to move away from Hindu-Muslim, religion-caste, India-Pakistan to government education, health, employment, hospitals, electricity, and other facilities!! #હવે_બદલાશે_ગુજરાત”
