Fact Check: Post Claiming Gadkari Didn’t Greet PM Modi During Swearing-in Ceremony Is False

Date:

A picture showing PM Modi greeting senior BJP leaders with folded hands is doing the rounds on social media. Many users claim that Nitin Gadkari did not greet PM Modi during the swearing-in ceremony, as he rebelled against BJP. 

A Facebook user posted the viral post (archive link) with the following caption: नितीन गडकरी ने बगावत कर दी है  संघ का खास व्यक्ती और लगातार नागपुर से जीतकर आने वाले नितिन गडकरी अब खुलकर मोदी विरोधी हो गए है! वे मोदी मोदी मोदी के नारों से तंग आ चुके हैं !!  हाथ जोड़कर वंदना करना उनको पसंद नहीं हैI गडकरी जी जैसे हो… SWAG से करेंगे मोदी का स्वागत. (English version: See below.👇)

FACT CHECK

NewsMobile fact-checked the viral post, and found it to be false.

Searching online for the videos from the swearing-in event, the NM team found a YouTube video live stream on the official YouTube channel of the President of India, dated June 9, 2024. The video shows the entire swearing-in ceremony of the Prime Minister. 

At around 35:00 minutes, we can see Modi arriving and greeting everybody at the ceremony. Here we see a frame similar to the viral picture and Nitin Gadkari is seen greeting Modi back with his hands folded like other leaders. 

Another YouTube video on the official channel of WION also shows glimpses of Modi’s swearing-in ceremony. Here too, we can see Gadkari greeting Modi on his arrival along with other BJP leaders.

Therefore, we can conclusively say that the viral post, claiming that Nitin Gadkari did not greet Modi at the swearing-in ceremony, is false.
