Is Karnataka’s Chief Minister-Siddaramaiah dancing in the viral video- Read Fact Check

Ananaya Sharma May 23, 2023 1 min read

A 38-second video of a dancing man is going viral on social media claiming that the man is Karnataka’s Chief Minister-Siddaramaiah dancing to a popular Kannada song. Some people can also be seen in the video enjoying the dance performance.

Source: Facebook

Fact Check:

To investigate the viral video, DFRAC team did a keyword search and found a report by Bangalore Mirror, dated march 2018, which identified the man in the video as Channamayigowda, a 55-year-old farmer from Karnataka’s Mysuru. At the time, he told reporters, “I was told to perform a dance, which I did. This video had no intent to bring a bad name to the CM.” Ironically, Siddaramaiah was the chief minister of Karnataka at that time too.

Further, we found that the same video went viral in the year 2018.Even then, the social media users were claiming the man as Siddaramaiah.

Conclusion:

Through our investigation it is clear that the video is not of Siddaramaiah dancing, but of a lookalike named Channamayigowda. Hence, the claim of social media users is misleading.
