A picture has gone viral on social media in which women are holding placards that read “Modi Chor” (“Modi is a thief”).
A Facebook page Azamgarh Express which has over 1.2 million followers shared the viral picture and was reshared by nearly 7,000 people.
A parody Twitter handle of Congress President Rahul Gandhi also shared the same picture on Twitter with the caption that read: “1st time in 70 years #AyushmanBharat #PMJAYluanch in Ranchi with #ModiChorHai Placard”.

The picture was very conveniently manipulated as the text on the placard women were holding was changed with the help of photoshop.
