Fact Check: 2010 image from Germany passed off as construction of LPG pipeline in Gorakhpur

India Today Anti Fake News War Room has found the viral post claiming "World’s longest LPG pipeline coming up in UP’s Gorakhpur" misleading.

As elections in Uttar Pradesh draw closer, the precarious Covid-19 situation has ensured that political parties and their supporters rely on digital campaigns more than ever.

And since the BJP announced Yogi Adityanath as its candidate from Gorakhpur (Urban), a section of social media users are sharing a postcard with an image of an under-construction project. In the viral image, a huge pipe can be seen being laid underground with the help of cranes.
