Shivam Tyagi, a verified user on Twitter and a worker of BJP, wrote that PM Modi is the biggest contender for the Nobel Peace Prize ahead of the 2024 elections. He is not just the most credible face for peace in the world but also the most trusted leader to stop wars. Only Modi can establish peace in the world. Toje reportedly said that PM Modi gave a warning against the use of nuclear weapons by Russia during the Ukraine crisis. When such a message comes from a powerful country like India, it becomes even more important.

Modi has been the Prime Minister for a few years now and is one of the biggest leaders in the world. It is interesting to see how India has become one of the primary economies of the world in record time. India is taken seriously, and when it speaks, it does so in a friendly tone without any threat.

Fact Check

After investigating on that matter, it indicates that the claim of Modi being the biggest contender for the Nobel Peace Prize is false. We found a report of Hindustan Times where it was mentioned that, ANI interviewed Esle Toje and he rejected the news as fake. Toje said that he is not associated with India’s respected committees as a sub-leader but as the director of international peace and understanding and as a friend of the India Center Foundation.

ABP News also interviewed Toje and he said that he cannot reveal the names of anyone nominated for the prize due to confidentiality. However, he did mention that the committee is receiving more Indian nominations. The official website of the Nobel Prize states that the names of nominated individuals for the Peace Prize cannot be disclosed until fifty years after the awarding.

Conclusion

After our investigation, it is clear that the claim on Prime Minister Narendra Modi being the top contender for the Nobel Peace Prize before the 2024 elections is FAKE.
