The message posted with the photo-montage is trying to make a claim according to which a man was set up to garland Kanhaiya in presence of Ravish Kumar. The tweet below has three pictures which claims to represent a sequence of events in which a worker [volunteer] was hiding a BJP cap that was later given to a man standing in front of Kumar. It further claimed that the man donned the BJP cap just before garlanding Kanhaiya Kumar. The post attempted to tarnish the credibility of the journalist by calling the entire episode &#8220;propaganda&#8221;.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"hi\">\u0930\u0935\u093f\u0936 \u092c\u093e\u092c\u0942 \u092c\u0947\u0917\u0941\u0938\u0930\u093e\u092f \u0915\u0940 \u0927\u0930\u0924\u0940 \u092a\u0930 \u092d\u0940 \u0905\u092a\u0928\u0947 \u091f\u0940\u092e \u0915\u0947 \u0938\u093e\u0925 \u092e\u093f\u0932 \u0915\u0930 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u094b\u092a\u0917\u0902\u0921\u093e \u092b\u0948\u0932\u093e\u0928\u093e \u0928\u0939\u0940\u0902 \u091b\u094b\u0921\u093c\u0947\u0964<br \/>\nPic 1 BJP \u0915\u0947 \u091f\u094b\u092a\u0940 \u0915\u094b \u091b\u0941\u092a\u093e \u0915\u0930 \u092a\u0939\u0932\u0947 \u0938\u0947 \u0930\u0916\u0924\u0947 \u0939\u0941\u090f \u090f\u0915 \u0915\u093e\u0930\u094d\u092f\u0915\u0930\u094d\u0924\u093e<br \/>\nPic 2 \u092b\u093f\u0930 \u0909\u0938 \u091f\u094b\u092a\u0940 \u0915\u094b \u0915\u0928\u094d\u0939\u0948\u092f\u093e \u0915\u0947 \u0938\u093e\u0925\u0940 \u092a\u0939\u0928\u0924\u0947 \u0939\u0942\u090f<br \/>\nPic 3 \u092c\u0940\u091c\u0947\u092a\u0940 \u0915\u0940 \u091f\u094b\u092a\u0940 \u092a\u0939\u0928 \u0915\u0930 \u0915\u0928\u094d\u0939\u0948\u092f\u093e \u0915\u094b \u092e\u093e\u0932\u093e \u092a\u0939\u0928\u093e\u0924\u0947 \u0939\u0941\u090f \u0914\u0930 \u0930\u0935\u093f\u0936 \u092c\u093e\u092c\u0942 \u0930\u093f\u092a\u094b\u0930\u094d\u091f\u093f\u0902\u0917 \u0915\u0930\u0924\u0947 \u0939\u0941\u090f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KIdZ8WQLa3\">pic.twitter.com\/KIdZ8WQLa3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ritesh kumar (@Minkkeybihari) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Minkkeybihari\/status\/1116585372845137920?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 12, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The sequence of images posted above was also converted into a meme and several individuals on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B6%20%20%E0%A4%9F%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%80%20%20%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B9%E0%A5%88%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%BE%20%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B2%E0%A4%BE&amp;src=typed_query&amp;f=live\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/search\/top\/?q=%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B6%20%20%E0%A4%9F%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%80%20%20%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B9%E0%A5%88%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%BE%20%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B2%E0%A4%BE&amp;epa=FILTERS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a> have shared this.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"hi\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RavishKumarMC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#RavishKumarMC<\/a> \u0938\u093e\u0939\u0947\u092c \u0906\u092a \u091c\u0928\u094d\u092e\u091c\u093e\u0924 \u092c\u0947\u0936\u0930\u094d\u092e \u0939\u0948\u0902 \u092f\u093e \u092c\u0921\u093c\u093e \u0939\u094b\u0928\u0947 \u0915\u0947 \u092c\u093e\u0926 \u0915\u094b\u0908 \u0915\u094b\u0930\u094d\u0938 \u0915\u093f\u092f\u093e \u0939\u0948 ?<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BloodyPrestituteTraitor?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BloodyPrestituteTraitor<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ep8yWRICzX\">pic.twitter.com\/ep8yWRICzX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Bhaiyya ji [ Chowkidar ] (@shrialokmishra) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/shrialokmishra\/status\/1116755468423053313?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 12, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A Facebook user, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GandharAgarwalVibhu\/photos\/a.614544465230066\/2920092521341904\/?type=3&amp;theater\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gandhar Agarwal<\/a>, was among <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/search\/?q=%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%96%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%8F%20%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%88%E0%A4%B8%E0%A5%87%20%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%B5%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%B6%20%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B0%20%E0%A4%85%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%87%20%E0%A4%86%E0%A4%A6%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%80%20%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%8B%20%E0%A4%AD%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%9C%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%BE%20%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%BE%20%E0%A4%86%E0%A4%A6%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%80%20%E0%A4%AC%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%B0%20%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%B6%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%B9%E0%A5%80%20%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%A8%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B9%E0%A5%88%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%BE%20%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%BE%20%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B2%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%A3%20%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BE%20%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%BE%20%E0%A4%B9%E0%A5%88%E0%A5%A4&amp;searchtype=posts&amp;epa=SERP_TAB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">those<\/a> who posted the meme with an identical narrative.

The series of events, depicted in the photomontage, are actually in reverse order.<\/p>\n<p>Ravish Kumar recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tQ56P4UaF6E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">visited<\/a> Begusarai, Bihar to cover Kanhaiya Kumar&#8217;s campaign trail. Alt News contacted the journalist to inquire about the incident.<\/p>\n<p>We have accessed the recording of the said event where a man donning a BJP cap and scarf approaches Kanhaiya Kumar and garlands him. In the video posted below, it is evident that man was already sporting the cap when he met the Begusarai candidate and removed it after Kanhaiya Kumar&#8217;s supporters urged him to. Thus, the allegation that the entire incident was a set-up is false.
