<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tTelugu News outlet Hashtag U<\/a> published an article<\/a> on July 27, claiming the same.<\/p>\n The collage was shared on Twitter several times.

Elected to Thane Municipal Corporation as a corporator for the first time in 1997.<\/p>\n \u2014 Satyam Mishra (@metalhead_sam) July 27, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Taking this as a clue, we did a keyword search on Google and found that several major media outlets<\/a> have clarified that the man in the viral image is not Eknath Shinde, but Baba Kamble.<\/p>\n Below is a video report by Aaj Tak talking to Baba Kamble. Alt News reached out to Mr Kamble who clarified that the man in the image is indeed him. Mr Kamble said, “The image was clicked in 1997. At the time, we had made the Raat-Rani rickshaw stand in Pimpri-Chinchwad for passengers who travelled at night. This image was clicked during the Shravan month. We usually do a puja<\/em> (prayer) and decorate our rickshaws. I had also done the same when this picture was taken”.<\/p>\n Alt News also found an image posted by \u092e\u0939\u093e\u0930\u093e\u0937\u094d\u091f\u094d\u0930 \u0930\u093f\u0915\u094d\u0937\u093e \u092a\u0902\u091a\u093e\u092f\u0924 \u092a\u0941\u0923\u0947<\/a> on July 22.<\/p>\n \u092e\u0939\u093e\u0930\u093e\u0937\u094d\u091f\u094d\u0930 \u0930\u093f\u0915\u094d\u0937\u093e \u092a\u0902\u091a\u093e\u092f\u0924 \u0938\u0902\u0938\u094d\u0925\u093e\u092a\u0915 \u0905\u0927\u094d\u092f\u0915\u094d\u0937 \u0915\u0937\u094d\u091f\u0915\u0931\u094d\u092f\u093e\u0902\u091a\u0947 \u0928\u0947\u0924\u0947 \u092c\u093e\u092c\u093e \u0915\u093e\u0902\u092c\u0933\u0947 \u092f\u093e\u0902\u091a\u093e \u0930\u093f\u0915\u094d\u0937\u093e \u0938\u094b\u092c\u0924 \u092b\u094b\u091f\u094b \u0930\u093f\u0915\u094d\u0937\u093e \u091a\u093e\u0932\u0935\u0924\u093e\u0928\u093e 19 97…<\/p>\n Posted by \u092e\u0939\u093e\u0930\u093e\u0937\u094d\u091f\u094d\u0930 \u0930\u093f\u0915\u094d\u0937\u093e \u092a\u0902\u091a\u093e\u092f\u0924 \u092a\u0941\u0923\u0947<\/a> on\u00a0Friday, 22 July 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Translation of the caption- “This photo is of Maharashtra Rickshaw Panchayat Founder-President and labour leader Baba Kamble driving a rickshaw in 1997 and worshipping the rickshaw in the month of Shravan at the Ratrani Rickshaw Stand in Pimpri”.<\/p>\n Hence it is evident that the man in the picture is not Eknath Shinde, but the President of Maharashtra Rickshaw Panchayat, Baba Kamble.<\/p>\n Photo 2: Young PM Modi clicked while sweeping<\/strong><\/p>\n On a Google reverse image search, we found that the image where PM Modi can be seen sweeping the floor was viral on the internet since the run-up to the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.<\/p>\n Alt News has debunked<\/a> the same image in 2019 when a major news media channel, India TV broadcasted this image on their show \u2013 \u2018Unheard stories of PM Narendra Modi\u2019 \u2013 a twenty-minute special on Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s life.<\/p>\n An RTI petition filed in 2016 revealed<\/a> that the photograph was fake. According to\u00a0Janta ka Reporter<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>the RTI reply said,\u00a0\u201c\u2026<\/em>It is stated while the information sought does not form part of records, it may be noted that the said photograph is morphed and the person in the photo is not Mr Narendra Modi\u201d. <\/em>Below we have added a screengrab of ABP Live<\/a>‘s report on the same.<\/p>\n The original photo of the man holding a broom can be found here<\/a>. Thus, the alleged photograph of Narendra Modi is actually morphed.<\/p>\n Photo 3: President Droupadi Murmu in her youth<\/strong><\/p>\n Judging by the image quality, it appears that the picture was most likely clicked recently. To probe further, we performed a Google reverse image search which lead us to a News18 article<\/a> on Droupadi Murmu, dated July 23, containing the same image. According to the article, the woman in the image is Sukumar Tudu, a sanitation worker at the primary health centre at Uparbeda, the village where President Murmu was born.<\/p>\n Hence it is evident that the woman in the picture is not President Droupadi Murmu.<\/p>\n Photo 4: Young Yogi Adityanath<\/strong><\/p>\n On a Google reverse image search, Alt News found that the man in the image is indeed Yogi Adityanath. This image has been used by several major media outlets in articles that profile him. One of them is Mumbai Mirror’s article called Mascot of Hindutva and a man of integrity<\/a>. The article was published on March 19, 2017, days before Yogi Adityanath was appointed as the CM of Uttar Pradesh.<\/p>\n We also found a second image of this event clicked from a different angle. Sharing this photo on Twitter, a user wrote that they found the image in the Gorakhnath Mutt records.<\/p>\n What a picture: Got these amazing pics from the Gorakhnath Mutt records. Yogi ji is getting his Sanyas Diksha & Late Ashok Singhal ji, addressing the gathering. pic.twitter.com\/jtwgDs5fTD<\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/07\/Screenshot-27.jpg\")
