Mangaluru: Fact check – No, Mithun Rai did not shed tears on Ashraf’s signal


Daijiworld Media Network - Mangaluru (RJP)

Mangaluru, Mar 27: A video has been circulated since past two days in the social media, which claims that local leader Ashraf instructed Congress Lok Sabha candidate Mithun Rai to shed tears during the Congress-JD(S) convention in city before Rai filed his nomination on Monday. Now the truth has come out that Ashraf did not instruct or request Mithun to shed tears. In fact he was wiping his face.

After the video was circulated, it attracted many views. Some supported Ashraf’s ‘signal’. Some criticised it. But after we checked the video carefully, it was observed that Ashraf was wiping his face, especially lower part of his eyes. He did it when district in-charge minister U T Khader spoke also.

This fact check exposes some social media ‘experts’ who use videos to send wrong information to people.

    The comments on the articles related to elections clearly show that political parties polarize the society. Not sure how many know Mithun Rai personally, but we see people coming to his defense.
    NK will have a tough fight against Mithun Rai unless usual suspects like Amarnath Shetty and other factions within Congress decide to sabotage the blooming career of Mithun Rai.

    Like many of us even Mithun Rai would have misunderstood the actions of the man and attempted to cry..

    Nobody can shed tears better than Bollywood star Anupam Kher without 'glycerin' who later joined BJP and supported his wife.

    Asli or Nakli, but nobody can beat Tears of a clown: The comic genius of BJP Yeddyurappa. He's had so many occasions to weep that Yeddyurappa has often seemed less CM than an overwrought patriarch in a Kannada serial – without the glycerin.

    Yeddyurappa is an effortlessly lachrymose personage., crying more often than most toddlers.

    Similarly, Modi had earlier broken down after being elected leader of the parliamentary party following the BJP's historic victory in the 2014 Lok Sabha.

    Ever since he came to power he made 'cry' Indians for electing him to power.

    This propaganda is done none but bharat ko jalawo party. they are sure that their candidate will lose against Mithun Rai and are frustrated. Any how, bjp is going to lose all over India and their leaders plus paid activists have gone mad and giving illogic statemetns. Let us pray God to bless them and save them from becoming 100 percent mad which is not good for them, their families and we public.

    Now a days there is no reason to get viral and regarding politics all actions of politicians and people involved are noticed and interpreted or misinterpreted as election is nearing. In the world of internet and social media era " Even when one is sleeping he has to shake his legs otherwise some may mistake for permanent sleep"
