The readers should note that Alt News has found @FltLtAnoopVerma sharing misinformation several times<\/a>. For instance, in September 2021, he falsely claimed<\/a> that the New York Times had described Prime Minister Modi as the “Last, Best Hope of Earth”.<\/p>\n

Several other users on social media shared the video of Akhilesh Yadav with the same claim.<\/p>\n
