A screenshot of a tweet believed to have been made by US president Joe Biden has been making the rounds on social media. It suggests that Biden called his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi a “world leader”.<\/p>\n

From the Facebook page Modi Mantra \u0cae\u0ccb\u0ca6\u0cbf \u0cae\u0c82\u0ca4\u0ccd\u0cb0<\/a>, the post received over 2,500 reactions and more than 450 shares. It was shared with Kannada text ‘\u0cb5\u0cb0\u0ccd\u0cb2\u0ccd\u0ca1\u0ccd \u0cb2\u0cc0\u0ca1\u0cb0\u0ccd \u0cae\u0ccb\u0ca6\u0cbf’ that translates to ‘World leader Modi’.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

It drew another 500 shares from a Facebook page dedicated to BJP spokesperson Santosh Kenchamba<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"The postt received hundreds of likes from Facebook pages Narendra modi fans<\/a> and HDK Worldwide Fans<\/a> and the group BSY fans of karnataka<\/a>. The purported tweet is also circulating on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fake tweet<\/h4>\n

The first clue suggesting that the tweet has not been made by US president Joe Biden is its username. Biden’s official Twitter username is @JoeBiden while the one in the viral screenshot is @JoeBidenPresid.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A quick rummage through Biden’s Twitter handle is further proof that the tweet is fake. He has not quote-tweeted PM Modi’s congratulatory tweet<\/a>. Moreover, if the tweet was real, it would’ve made the news.<\/p>\n

A fake tweet showing US President Joe Biden calling PM Modi “world leader” was therefore shared on social media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
