A video related to the farmers’ movement is viral on social media in which farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal states that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s popularity graph has skyrocketed after the Ram Mandir inauguration and reached an all-time high. He appears to call on the listeners to think about how it can be brought down in a few days.

BJP leaders, Right-Wing influencers and media channels shared the video claiming that the only purpose of the farmers’ movement was to tarnish the Modi government’s image.

While airing the same footage on the News18 channel, Rubika Liyaquat stated that the intention behind the farmers’ movement was political.

While airing the viral video on India TV, anchor Meenakshi Joshi claimed the farmers’ movement was kicked off to curb the popularity of Narendra Modi. She also claimed that the clip was from a few days before the start of the farmers’ movement.

Zee News anchor Shivangi Thakur also questioned whether the increasing popularity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi was the reason for the ongoing protests by farmers regarding their march to Delhi. Later, in the same report, the anchor stated that Zee News did not confirm the authenticity of the video.

Times Now Navbharat also promoted the clip, with anchor Himanshu Dixit claiming that the aim of the farmers’ movement was to harm Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s image and bring down his popularity.
