Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma recently tweeted a comparison video showing the condition of Assam roads “before and after Modi government”. The clips of the potholed and waterlogged roads are captioned “Assam Roads Then”, and those showing good roads are captioned, “Assam Roads Now.”

Fact Check

In the part of the video that apparently shows roads before the Modi government came to power, we spotted a car with the registration number AS01DT6808. Upon checking this registration number on the CarInfo website, Alt News found that the vehicle had been registered on August 2, 2018. This means that the video of the potholed road was not from before the Modi government came into power, but from 2018 or later, when the BJP was in power both in Assam and at the Centre.

BJP has been in power in the state since May 24, 2016, and at the Centre since May 26, 2014, with Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister.
