On December 2, 2022, several media outlets reporte<\/a>d that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had issued a notice to Kalvakuntla Kavitha, the member of legislative council from Nizamabad, Telangana, asking her to appear for questioning in the Delhi liquor scam case. Later on December 11<\/a>, the investigating agency did question Kalvakuntla Kavitha at her residence in Banjara Hills. Kavitha is the daughter of Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao, commonly referred to as KCR.<\/p>\n

In this context, a video of KCR speaking at a press conference has gone viral since the last week of December. In this short clip, we can hear him say, “In fact, I have nothing against Mr Modi. I have all respect for him, as the honourable Prime Minister of India, I have all respect for him. And another important thing I am telling you, it should be noted, and it’s very important, I am his best friend also. People hardly know what friendship we have in between us. What kind of matters we discussed… people hardly know it. Yes, I am telling it on record.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

Twitter user @rvaidya2000<\/a> shared the clip on December 28 and wrote, “Daughter caught in liquor scam. Papa suddenly is a changed man. Ha ha:)) TN soon :)) RT”<\/p>\n

Fact Check<\/h4>\n

A simple keyword search on Google took us to a news report<\/a> by The Times of India from March 2018. The article titled, ‘PM Modi my best friend, says KCR’ has ‘key highlights’ that match the language heard in the viral clip.<\/p>\n

Taking this clue we performed a keyword search on YouTube and came across the same video posted by a channel called Xplorer India in March 2018.<\/p>\n
