New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is once again in the line of fire by the netizens a day after he shared pictures of his visit to a school and his interaction with the students for launching Mission Schools of Excellence.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday launched the ambitious ‘Mission Schools of Excellence’ project in Gandhinagar ahead of the Gujarat Assembly polls. As a part of the launching of the mission Modi had purportedly visited a school in Adalaj in Gujarat and spent time with students and teachers.
PM Modi shared several pictures on his Twitter handle on Wednesday with a caption that read “Some glimpses from the memorable interaction with our youth while launching the Mission Schools of Excellence.”
However, when more pictures of his visit to the school went viral across social media platforms, users had a field day as they pointed out several loopholes in the pictures from what was being touted by the PM and other BJP leaders as a classroom of a school.
Hundreds of users mocked PM Modi and his PR team for what they termed a “PR stunt”. Among the flaws, the users pointed out from the pictures, were a fake window, a tiny classroom that could only accommodate six students, walls of the classroom that looked like it was made of cardboard, and the facial expression of the students.
Members of the Bharatiya Janata Party have hit back at the trolls by posting older pictures of the PM while he interacted with students. However, there has been no clarification on the recently posted photos.
Among those who targeted PM Modi over the propaganda and staging a fake classroom visit, were members of various political parties, senior leaders, and activists.
Here’s what they said:

Washington, Mar 2 (AP): President Donald Trump has signed an executive order designating English as the official language of the United States.
The order allows government agencies and organizations that receive federal funding to choose whether to continue to offer documents and services in language other than English.
It rescinds a mandate from former President Bill Clinton that required the government and organizations that received federal funding to provide language assistance to non-English speakers.
“Establishing English as the official language will not only streamline communication but also reinforce shared national values, and create a more cohesive and efficient society,” according to the order signed by Trump on Saturday.
“In welcoming new Americans, a policy of encouraging the learning and adoption of our national language will make the United States a shared home and empower new citizens to achieve the American dream,” the order also states. “Speaking English not only opens doors economically, but it helps newcomers engage in their communities, participate in national traditions, and give back to our society.”
More than 30 states have already passed laws designating English as their official language, according to US English, a group that advocates for making English the official language in the United States.
For decades, lawmakers in Congress have introduced legislation to designate English as the official language of the US, but those efforts have not succeeded.
Within hours of Trump's inauguration last month, the new administration took down the Spanish language version of the official White House website.
Hispanic advocacy groups and others expressed confusion and frustration at the change. The White House said at the time it was committed to bringing the Spanish language version of the website back online. As of Saturday, it was still not restored.
The White House did not immediately respond to a message about whether that would happen.
Trump shut down the Spanish version of the website during his first term. It was restored when President Joe Biden was inaugurated in 2021.
