Fact-Check:<\/h2>\n

No Congress MLA by this name<\/h3>\n

Who is this Congress MLA from Madhya Pradesh whose video praising PM Modi is not only viral on social media but has been also been telecast on national television?<\/p>\n

Alt News searched the MyNeta database<\/a> that there is no Congress MLA called Anil Upadhyay. The search throws up two persons by the same name \u2013 Dr. Anil Upadhyay, a BSP leader from Jodhpur who contested the Rajasthan polls in 2018, and Anil Kumar Upadhyay, an independent candidate from Lucknow who contested the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections in 2007 and 2012. There was no Congress leader from Madhya Pradesh by this name.<\/p>\n

After it was established that the person in the video was not a Congress MLA from Madhya Pradesh, Alt News tried to establish the identity of the person.<\/p>\n

Several viral videos of the same person with different claims<\/h2>\n

Alt News has come across several viral videos of the same man, each one with a different claim. In December, 2018 a video of the same man praising<\/a> Prime Minister Narendra Modi was viral on social media with claims suggesting that he is Rajasthan Deputy CM Sachin Pilot\u2019s father-in-law. Alt News had debunked this fake claim pointing out that Sachin Pilot is married to Sara Abdullah who is the daughter of J&K National Conference chief and ex-Chief Minister of J&K Farooq Abdullah.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the same person was seeing crying on video over people being critical of PM Modi. In this video he was sitting with a group of people in open ground doing yoga.<\/p>\n

The person in the video was identified by Quint<\/a> as Mohan (Munna) Pandey. Several videos of Pandey have been shared by twitter user, Tanmay Shankar (@Shanktan). In all these videos, he is seen as making a very spirited and emotional case for supporting PM Modi. Speaking to Quint, Shankar confirmed that the person is Mohan Pandey and is known to him personally.<\/p>\n

Just met with Mr. Munna Pandey during walk ! His point is very clear that Opposition only agenda is to remove @narendramodi<\/a> keeping India's development aside!!
And this is what I believe Pan India's opinion wants a good and a strong leader!
Plz RT who all agree. pic.twitter.com\/QSSkqpbfgj<\/a><\/p>\n

It is clear from above that Congress MLA, Anil Upadhyay who was featured in a \u2018Breaking News\u2019 by Republic TV is a fictional character. The video is of one Mohan Pandey, who is regularly featured in videos, perhaps due to his impassioned appeals in favour of PM Modi. These videos get viral on social media from time to time with different narrative and often an attempt is made to project him as a Congress leader praising PM Modi. This time, it was not just gullible social media users, but a national television channel like Republic TV who shared the video without any fact check.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
