“NDTV reported Amit Shah as saying that party workers active on social media are surviving on the government’s 5 kg ration.”
What FACTLY found
The viral NDTV news card attributing a statement about party workers surviving on 5 kg ration to Home Minister Amit Shah is edited. The original graphic was posted by NDTV on 01 November 2025 from the Election Changer Session in Patna, featuring a conversation between Home Minister Amit Shah and NDTV CEO and Editor-in-Chief Rahul Kanwal, and does not carry any such statement. NDTV, in a post on X, confirmed that the viral news card circulating online has been edited and is fake.
