Spandana shared the clipped video, six months after Alt News<\/a> found that it was cropped to suggest that PM himself claimed to have studied till high school. It has been circulating on social media for at least three years now and we found an instance of the clipped video dating back to November 2015<\/a>. In the longer version of the same video, Modi goes on to say that he did his BA and MA through external examination.<\/p>\n

Divya Spandana later realised her error<\/a> and acknowledged that it was indeed a clipped version of the original video by posting an Alt News article, but refrained from deleting her tweet.<\/p>\n

Ruchi Gupta<\/a>, Joint Secretary AICC and NSUI in-charge had also shared the same video on September 17, 2018, which was retweeted by the official handle of NSUI.<\/p>\n

Political parties often latch onto unverified content shared on social media in haste to score brownie points. This instance was no different and a little research on the internet would have revealed the truth of this video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
