“Viral video showing PM Modi announcing free LPG cylinders under the Ujjwala scheme.”
What FACTLY found
The Government of India, Prime Minister Modi has not announced any free LPG cylinder scheme. The viral video claiming that Prime Minister Modi announced such a scheme is fake and has been digitally altered. The video was created by modifying the audio of the original recording. While the Ujjwala scheme provides subsidised LPG connections to households, it does not offer free cylinders
