    • Quote From Parody Handle Viral As Manoj Tiwaris Response On Fuel Prices

      A fake quote from a parody Twitter handle is being shared with the false claim that Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party leader Manoj Tiwari in response to rising fuel prices said that if Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government was not governing the country then petrol prices would have touched Rs 200.

      Petrol prices recently topped the Rs 100 a litre-mark in some cities of the country with the Modi government facing criticism from the opposition over the increase in fuel prices.

      A screenshot of a tweet attributing the statement to Tiwari is being shared which when translated reads, "If Modi ji's government wasn't governing the country then petrol would cost Rs 200 today: Manoj Tiwari, BJP leader."

      On viewing the handle profile, the bio clearly states that it is a parody handle with the text reading, "Welcome to the official page of Dainik Khaskar. 100% fake news. Parody. Tweets are for fun only." The name of the handle is a play on the name of the Hindi newspaper Dainik Bhaskar.


      Additionally, we did not find any credible news reports on Tiwari making any such statement.
