In 2014, a photograph of Modi sweeping the floors for a living went viral. The internet and his followers, who are popularly called Modi Bhakts, went on a mission to showcase his humble background.
This black-and-white photo of Modi holding a broom and cleaning a floor was in fact used in the run up to the Lok Sabha polls as a part of the party's election campaign.
While some did question the authenticity, no one could trace the origins and most left it at that.
Except for an Ahmedabad-based activist, whose RTI has revealed that the image was photoshopped. See the original picture in the image.
The RTI reply said, "It is stated while the information sought does not form part of records, it may be noted that the said photograph is morphed and the person in the photo is not Mr Narendra Modi."
More ammo for the opposition.
