An old video of Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressing a rally at Patan, Gujarat, is viral online with the false claim that he used profanity laced language in his address by saying ‘BC’, an abbreviation for a Hindi swear word.
BOOM found that the claims are false and the 2019 video is being falsely linked to the ongoing Lok Sabha polls. The video shows PM Modi talking about a war for water in Gujarati; he is not heard using any inappropriate language in this address.
The 15-second viral video shows PM Modi speaking in Gujarati about a war for water and a text on the video reads, “Modi said BC at a rally.”
The video is being shared on with the caption, “Does this ‘convinced’ representative sent by God ‘purposefully’ speak such decent language from the stage, or is it just a coincidence?”
(Original text in Hindi: “परमात्मा का भेजा हुआ यह ‘कन्विन्स्ड’ प्रतिनिधि ‘पर्पसफुली’ इतनी शालीन भाषा मंच से बोलता है, या ससुरा महज संयोग है?”)
