A video showing cars moving on multiple elevated highways is doing the rounds on social media. Many users claim it to be from Gujarat, and praise Narendra Modi for the state’s development.
A Facebook user posted the viral post with the following caption:
മോദിയുടെ ഗ്യാരന്റി 💪
ഗുജറാത്ത് 💪👇
(English: Modi’s guarantee 💪
Gujarat 💪👇)

FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the viral post, and found it to be False.
Running a Reverse Image Search of the video keyframes, the NM team identified a stock picture on Alamy, dated August 14, 2018. As per its description, it’s a 72-metre-high winding overpass in southwest China’s Chongqing.
Also, a YouTube video on a travel blogger’s account — at 00:55 second-mark — carries the visuals similar to the viral clip. This confirms that the location on the bridge is, indeed, from Chongqing, NOT Gujarat.
Therefore, we can conclusively say that the viral post, claiming to show infrastructural development in Gujarat because of Modi, is false.
