Narendra Modi’s black and white photo of him wearing torn Khadi clothes, holding a broom and cleaning the floor had gone viral. Plenty of admiration was received by Modi as his supporters felt that the photo is a proof of his humble upbringing. This image was used by BJP supporters during elections and Lok Sabha polls too.
As per a new RTI reply, it has been revealed that the picture is photoshopped and that the PM never ever held the broom. It further states that the person in the photo isn’t the PM and that it is morphed.
An activist from Ahmadabad states that Modi had spent a lot of money for winning the election. For winning it, the party even went to the extent of using morphed photo that is widely in circulation by Paid bhakts. This is the reason why RTI further cross-verified the photo if it was genuine.
