Edited Video Peddled As Modi Supporting AIMIM in Telangana

An edited video of Prime Minister Narendra Modi claiming to show his support for rival party All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) by saying that Telangana would elect them to power during the Lok Sabha election instead of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is viral online. Fact-checking platform BOOM found that the video has been edited to make a false claim, and in the original clip, PM Modi talks about how Telangana will elect the BJP and not Asaduddin Owaisi-led AIMIM.
