      Listen to this Article

      A video of Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman meeting an elderly man is circulating on social media with false claims misidentifying him as Sitharaman's father, Narayanan Sitharaman. The claims further state that Sitharaman and her father have been leading a very simple life.

      BOOM found that the viral video shows Nirmala Sitharaman visiting K. V. Krishnan in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh on December 3, 2022. K. V. Krishnan is the great nephew of Subramania Bharathiyar, a revolutionary Tamil poet from the colonial era.

      The video has been shared with a caption in Hindi, "Central Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman with her father. How much simplicity, innocence and culture in them. (They are) living like lower middle class ! Government employees, patwari, soldiers, sarpanch also live their lives in a more luxurious way. Corrupt RTO, Income Tax officers, police officers, tehsildars have houses worth millions, not one but many. Nirmala ji and her father are blessed and they are an example of simplicity, honesty and Hindutva."

      (Original text in Hindi: केंद्रीय वित्त मंत्री निर्मला सीतारमरण अपने पिताजी के साथ, कितनी सादगी, सरलता और संस्कार। निम्न मध्यम वर्ग जैसा रहन सहन है! सरकारी बाबू ,पटवारी, सिपाही, सरपंचभी इससे अधिक ठाठ बाट से रहते हैं। भ्रष्ट RTO,INCOME TAX OFFICERS, थानेदारों, तहसीलदारो, के मकान लाखों करोड़ों के होते हैं, एक नहीं कई। धन्य हैं निर्मलाजी और उनके पिताश्री जो सादगी, ईमानदारी और हिंदुत्व की मिसाल हैं।)
