Twitter users mock PM Modi’s visit to “fake” classroom; here’s what they said
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.

Former minister C M Ibrahim announces to launch new regional party for Karnataka
Kalaburagi: Two years after being expelled from the Janata Dal (Secular), former minister C.M. Ibrahim has announced that he will launch a new regional political party in Karnataka on January 24, reported Deccan Herald.
Speaking at a meeting organised by the Nava Karnataka Nirmana Andolana in Kalaburagi on Sunday, Ibrahim confirmed the birth of the new party.
The 77-year-old politician stated he would soon be meeting with other like-minded individuals to choose a symbol for the party.

Ibrahim emphasised that the organisation would be guided by the principles of 12th-century social reformer Basavanna and the architect of the Indian Constitution, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.
A veteran politician, Ibrahim served as Union Civil Aviation Minister during the tenure of H.D. Deve Gowda as Prime Minister and later headed the Karnataka unit of the Janata Dal (Secular). He was expelled from the JD(S) in 2023 on charges of anti-party activities.
His exit from the party followed sharp differences over the JD(S) decision to ally with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). As the then state president of the JD(S), Ibrahim had publicly criticised the alliance, claiming it was finalised without his knowledge. He had also reportedly convened meetings of his supporters and expressed support for the INDIA bloc.
