For example, a pole, possibly a signal post, next to the tracks, the number 3 written on a yellow track-marker and the pattern of the rail-tracks in the surrounding area. In the BJP poster, the pole is partially hidden as PM Modi&#8217;s face has been placed over it.<\/p>\n<p>We also contacted Shawn Ang on Instagram, and showed him the Modi poster. He confirmed to us that the picture was from Jurong East station in Singapore. This confirms that the metro-railway image used in the BJP&#8217;s poster is from Singapore and not from India.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-204899 gallery-columns-4
