A simple reverse image search leads one to a report in Live Hindustan<\/a> published on January 20, 2018. The images were taken when Amit Shah launched ‘Yuva Udghosh’ in Varanasi.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The BJP leaders can be spotted in the same clothes as in the viral image in other pictures of the event uploaded by Live Hindustan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“The Yuva Udghosh programme is being organised focusing on the youths who are above the age of 17 and will become new voters before the 2019 general election,” reported Business Standard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Amar Ujala<\/a> reported that the BJP was expecting a gathering of 17,000 youths however, the turnover was 7,000. “Following the instructions of the administration, policemen started requesting passers-by to attend the event,” it further said.<\/p>\n
