      Photo Of BJP Leader Holding Meditation Device Viral With False Claim

      A photo of Bharatiya Janata Party leader Madhavi Latha holding a portable prayer device during an interview with India TV's Rajat Sharma is being shared with the false claim that she is holding a teleprompter remote.

      Latha, 49, is contesting the Lok Sabha elections on a BJP ticket against All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen and four-time member of parliament (MP) Asaduddin Owaisi from Hyderabad. Latha had given an interview to Sharma on his news TV show Aap ki Adalat.

      The viral photo was posted on X by the handle Asma @asmatasleem13 with a collage with the caption, "Teleprompter makes a good orator. BJP is full of perfidious characters.". @asmatasleem13 bio states that she is a Congress Telangana spokesperson.

      FACT-CHECK

      BOOM found that BJP leader Madhavi Latha is holding a digital counter used for pooja and meditation is being shared with a false claim that it is a teleprompter remote.

      Taking a hint from X handle replies stating that it is a meditation device and not a remote control. We checked for a "Portible Plastic Beads Portable Rotating Digital Finger Counter for Pooja Meditation Prayer" on Amazon and found that the device matches what Latha is holding in her hands.
