Fact Check: Pictures of AAP leaders wearing skull caps viral with misleading claims
India Today
A collage of three pictures of Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh in different attires is going viral. A sarcastic comment in the postcard says while AAP leaders don skull caps during elections in Delhi, it changes to saffron scarves when polls are held in UP. India Today Anti Fake News War Room has found the claim to be misleading.
The elections in Uttar Pradesh promise to be an exciting affair with several alliances cropping up and some new entrants willing to test the waters. One prominent name in the latter group is of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
The AAP has turned out to be a major talking point in UP’s political discourse. And its opponents too do not miss out on any opportunity to take a dig at the party.
On social media, a collage of three pictures of Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh in different attires is going viral. A sarcastic comment in the postcard says while AAP leaders don skull caps during elections in Delhi, it changes to saffron scarves when polls are held in UP.
The archived versions of the claims can be found here and here.
India Today Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA) has found the claim to be misleading as the images of AAP leaders in skull caps are not linked to elections in Delhi. Only the picture of Sisodia and Singh in saffron scarves was taken in Ayodhya last year.
Let us look into the three images one by one.
