A False Show Of Strength? Lalu Prasad Yadav Tweets Morphed Image Of RJD’s ‘Desh Bachao’ Rally

Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav posted a morphed picture of his "BJP bhagao, desh bachao" rally in Patna’s Gandhi Maidan, Times of India has reported.

The picture posted by Yadav showed the rally ground full of supporters. However, aerial photo posted by news agency ANI, taken from the same spot, showed parts of the rally ground empty.

“Picture taken from same point where Lalu Prasad Yadav's purported picture was taken; crowd sizes are different,” ANI said on Twitter, pointing out the fact that some areas in the rally ground were not occupied.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav participated in the rally. Other political heavyweights who attended the rally include Communist Party of India general secretary S Sudhakar Reddy, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha chief Hemant Soren and Jharkhand Vikas Morcha president Babulal Marandi. Nationalist Congress Party leader and Member of Parliament Tariq Anwar was also present.
