Election dates of 5 states including Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh have been announced. With the announcement of the election, the campaigning of all the parties is also in full swing. Meanwhile, many claims are going viral on social media.
What claim is going viral?
One viral screenshot claims that BSP Supremo Mayawati has been declared the first choice for the post of CM in the Rajasthan Elections. In the survey, it is said that in Rajasthan,51 percent of people want to see Mayawati in the post of CM. Whereas Ashok Gehlot is liked by 22 percent of people and Vasundhara Raje is liked by 14 percent of people.
Users who claimed this
The viral screenshot was shared by Karishma Pratyuah, Ashish Kumar Gautam, Rapid Talks, and others.
Fact Check
The DFRAC team examined the screenshot. Our team found the logo of ABP News is on the screenshot. On the right side wall of the survey, the CSDS Survey was written. Our team investigated the surveys shown on ABP News regarding Rajasthan. In the investigation, we found that the recent surveys shown on ABP news were conducted by C voters.
In the survey shown on 10 October, CM Ashok Gehlot is liked most for the post of CM by 34%. After this, Vasundhara Raje is liked by 22%, Sachin Pilot is by 18%, Gajendra Shekhawat is by 10%, Rajyavardhan Rathore is by 7% and others are by 9%.
A survey of the first choice for the post of CM has also been posted on the Facebook page of ABP news
Conclusion
We found many surveys on ABP News that were conducted by C voters. We didn’t find any recent survey of CSDS on ABP News. In the C voter survey, Ashok Gehlot is the first choice followed by Vasundhara Raje. Therefore, it is clear that the viral claim is misleading.
