Fact Check: Luxurious interior of jet shown as PM Modi’s official aircraft, Cong’s false claims debunked
PIB was quick to reject his claims, which tweeted, “The photo is of a private Dreamliner model by Boeing 787 and not of PM's aircraft.”
New Delhi: Call it a deliberate plan or political opportunism by Congress, this appears to be a clear attempt to score political points by portraying false image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Madhya Pradesh Congress MLA Jitu Patwari today shared a photograph of a private aircraft on Twitter and claimed it to be inside view of PM Modi’s official aircraft. He says though Railways are being sold to private operators but the Prime Minister is travelling in luxurious aircraft.
