Political parties have always harnessed celebrity power on the election trail. Many actors and actresses join, leave and switch to different political parties in the election season.
In the midst of all the political drama, a photo is being shared on social media claiming that Singham actor Ajay Devgn has joined the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP).

FACT CHECK
When NewsMobile team fact-checked the claim, we found out that the claim was fake.
When we did a reverse image search on the viral picture we came across the original picture on Narendra Modi’s official website- www.narendramodi.in
We found out that the picture was from June 2010 when Ajay Devgn met PM Narendra Modi in Gujarat who was, back then, the Chief Minister of the state.
Ajay Devgn expressed his willingness to set up a solar energy power project in the state and invited Modi to view his released Hindi film ‘Rajneeti’.
This proves that the above post is fake and should not be shared.
