General Secretary of Uttar Pradesh Congress Rakesh Sachan tweeted a picture<\/a> of the interior of an extravagant airplane with the caption, “Followers of the owner of this aircraft have an issue with cushions on a tractor.

His tweet was in reference to Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri’s swipe at Congress MP Rahul Gandhi<\/a> over images that showed him sitting on what appeared to be cushioned seats on a tractor. This was during a rally in Punjab to protest against the Modi government’s controversial farm laws.<\/p>\n

Poet Imran Pratapgrahi also shared<\/a> the same picture.<\/p>\n

On August 1, the official handle of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) tweeted the photograph and wrote, \u201cThere was Gandhiji who never fully covered his body because more than half of the population did not have clothes to wear.\u201d The tweet was liked by over 2,300 users and retweeted 364 times.

On the same day, this picture was also tweeted by Jitu Patwari, who is the in-charge of Gujarat Congress and working president of Madhya Pradesh Congress. He claimed that the plane is PM Modi\u2019s private aircraft. Patwari mockingly remarked that \u2018the PM would make India a superpower only when he is given luxuries\u2019. Before his tweet was deleted, it had received more than 1,100 likes and 221 retweets (archived link of the tweet<\/a>). After Patwari’s tweet, the picture began widely circulating on Twitter<\/a> and Facebook. <\/p>\n

Haryana Congress leader Pankaj Punia also tweeted<\/a> the picture along with a news report about Boeing 777 aircraft arriving in September 2020 for the Prime Minister’s use.<\/p>\n

The picture was posted on the Facebook page<\/a> of UP East Youth Congress with the same claim that this is the Boeing 777 aircraft.<\/p>\n

Upon conducting a reverse image search, it was found that the luxurious airplane is Mexico\u2019s Boeing 787 Dreamliner, and not PM Modi\u2019s private airplane. The picture was first shared on November 10, 2015, on a website<\/a> which said that it is a private plane.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A Google search confirms that the picture is indeed of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which is manufactured by American company Boeing Commercial Airplane. This particular airplane is specially made for commercial purposes. Since September 2016, the responsibility of managing Boeing 787 Dreamliner was taken over by China-based Deer Jet. More pictures<\/a> of Boeing 787 Dreamliner were found on the website of Deer Jet. The website also mentions that the aircraft was made in 2.5 years by a French designer and it can travel non-stop for 17 hours.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On November 17, 2017, Australian-Chinese blogger Sam Chui had uploaded a video on YouTube showing the interiors of Boeing 787 Dreamliner. You can see the same frame as shown in the recent viral picture at 2:09 minutes into the video<\/a>.<\/p>\n
