BBC సంస్థ ప్రచురించిన అవినీతి రాజకీయ పార్టీల జాబితాలో జగన్మోహన్ రెడ్డి గారి YSRCP ఉంది అంటూ ఫేస్బుక్ లో ఒక పోస్ట్ ని చాలా మంది షేర్ చేస్తున్నారు. ఆ పోస్ట్ లో ఎంతవరకు వాస్తవాలు ఉన్నాయో ఓసారి చూద్దాం.
ఆ పోస్ట్ యొక్క ఆర్కైవ్డ్ వెర్షన్ ఇక్కడ చూడవచ్చు.
విఖ్యాత BBC సంస్థ ప్రచురించిన ‘ప్రపంచంలోని అగ్ర 10 అవినీతి రాజకీయ పార్టీలు – 2017’ జాబితాలో జగన్మోహన్ రెడ్డి గారి YSRCP ఉంది.
పోస్ట్ లో పెట్టిన జాబితా అసలు  BBC వారు ప్రచురించలేదు. BBC News Hub అనే మోసపూరిత వెబ్సైట్ ప్రచురించిన జాబితాని ఫోటోషాప్ చేసి YSRCP ని అందులో చేర్చారు. కావున పోస్ట్ లోని ఆరోపణ అవాస్తవం.
గూగుల్ సెర్చ్ లో “Top 10 corrupt political parties 2017 list” అని వెతికినప్పుడు పోస్ట్ లో పెట్టిన జాబితాని మన దేశం లోని అనేక రాజకీయ పార్టీల కార్యకర్తలు తమ ప్రతిపక్షాల పేర్లను అందులో చేర్చి వాటిపై దుష్ప్రచారం చేసినట్టుగా తెలిసింది. మరింత సమాచారం కోసం వెతికినప్పుడు BBC News Hub ప్రచురించిన జాబితాకి సంబంధించిన ఆర్టికల్ లభించింది.
చివరగా, BBC News Hub అనే మోసపూరిత వెబ్సైట్ ప్రచురించిన జాబితాని ఫోటోషాప్ చేసి YSRCP ని  అందులో చేర్చారు.

2019 సార్వత్రిక ఎన్నికల మొదటి ఫేజ్ విజయవంతంగా పూర్తి అయిన తరువాత నుండి సోషల్ మీడియాలో కొన్ని ఎగ్జిట్ పోల్స్ ప్రచారంలో ఉన్నాయి. అందులో Political Analysis & Research Center (PARC) వారు ఆంధ్రప్రదేశ్ శాసనసభ ఎన్నికలలో వైయస్ఆర్సీపీ పార్టీ గెలుస్తుంది అంటూ వెల్లడించిన ఎగ్జిట్ పోల్స్ ఒకటి. ఈ సర్వే వివరాలను విశ్లేషిద్దాం.
పోస్ట్ యొక్క ఆర్చివ్డ్ వెర్షన్ ఇక్కడ చూడవచ్చు.
PARC ఢిల్లీ సంస్థ చేసిన 2019 సార్వత్రిక ఎన్నికలు ఎగ్జిట్ పోల్ సర్వే
PARC ఎగ్జిట్ పోల్ రిపోర్ట్ లో ఇవ్వబడిన చిరునామా ఆధారంగా ఇంటర్నెట్లో వెతికినప్పుడు అటువంటి పేరుతో ఏ సంస్థ కూడా కనుగొనబడలేదు మరియు అందులో ఉన్న ఫోన్ నంబర్ ద్వారా సంప్రదించాలని ప్రయత్నించగా వారు స్పందించలేదు. కావున ఫేస్బుక్ లో షేర్ అవుతున్న పోస్ట్ లో ఎటువంటి నిజం లేదు
ఎగ్జిట్ పోల్స్ ప్రచురణకు సంబంధించిన నియమాలు THE REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE ACT, 1951 యొక్క సెక్షన్ 126A లో పొందుపరిచారు. దీనిలో ఉన్న నిబంధనల ప్రకారంగా,  ఎన్నికల సంఘం వారు నోటిఫై చేసిన సమయంలో  ఎగ్జిట్ పోల్స్ నిర్వహించడం కానీ వాటి ఫలితాలని  బహిర్గతం చేయడం కానీ నిషిద్ధం అని తెలుస్తుంది.
భారతదేశ ఎన్నికల సంఘం (ECI ) వారు ఏప్రిల్ 8, 2019 న విడుదల చేసిన ప్రెస్ నోట్ అనుసారంగా 11.04.2019 (గురువారం) ఉదయం 7:00 గంటల నుండి 19.05.2019 (ఆదివారం) 6:30 గంటల మధ్య ఎగ్జిట్ పోల్స్ ఫలితాలు వెల్లడించడం నిషిద్ధం.
PARC ఎగ్జిట్ పోల్ రిపోర్ట్ లో ఉన్న చిరునామా ఆధారంగా గూగుల్ లో వెతికినప్పుడు అటువంటిపేరుతో ఏ సంస్థ కూడా కనుగొనబడలేదు.  అందులో ఉన్న ఫోన్ నంబర్ ద్వారామరియు మెయిల్  ద్వారా సంప్రదించాలని ప్రయత్నించగా వారు స్పందించలేదు. కావున PARC అనే ఎగ్జిట్ పోల్స్ సంస్థ ఉండకపోవచ్చు.
చివరగా, YSRCP విజేతగా నిలుస్తుంది అని PARC సర్వే సంస్థ ప్రకటించిందంటూ చలామణిలో ఉన్నది ఒక నకిలీ నోట్.

YSRCP enters ‘Genius Book of Records’ and not ‘Guinness Book of World Records’ for massive blood donation pledge - FACTLY
Sai Krishna Muthyanolla
December 26, 2022
A post is being shared on social media claiming that YSR Congress Party has set a Guinness World Record with 1.29 lakh registrations for blood donation on the occasion of Andhra Pradesh CM Y.S. Jagan’s 50 Birthday. Let’s verify the claim made in the post.
Claim: YSRCP set a Guinness World Record with 1.29 lakh registrations (both online & offline) for blood donation on Y.S Jagan’s 50 Birthday.
Fact: The certificate is given by ‘Genius Book of Records’ and not ‘Guinness book of World Records’. As of now, Guinness world record for most blood donor registrations online in 24 hours was set by Shincheonji Youth Volunteers on 02 October 2022 in South Korea with 71,121 registrations. Hence the claim made in the post is MISLEADING
We found that the image of certificate shared in the viral post shows “Genius Book of Records” and not “Guinness book of World Records”.
The image of the certificate uploaded on official website of the YSR congress party contains the logo & approval of “Genius Book of Records”. Also, during the announcement of the record, a representative from Genius book of Records can he heard saying, “Genius Book of Records”
As per the website of Genius Book of Records, they have been collecting various Indian Records for 28 years. Genius Book of Records is registered as per the consensus arrived at in the meeting of the Chief Editors of Genius Book of Records and is not related to Guinness World Records. According to the official website of Guinness World records, the record for most people to sign up as blood donors online in 24 hours was set by Shincheonji Youth Volunteers on 02 October 2022 in South Korea with 71,121 registrations. However, no such announcement was made by Guinness World Records acknowledging the record for massive blood donation pledge set during 50 birthday of Y.S Jagan.
To sum it up, YSRCP entered the ‘Genius Book of Records’ and not ‘Guinness book of World Records’ for 1.29 lakh blood donation signups within 24 hours.

YSRCP leader's assault on a voter falsely shared as BJP leaders assaulting non-supporters - FACTLY
Sai Krishna Muthyanolla
May 16, 2024
A video showing a man being slapped by another man, followed by a group of men attacking him, is circulating with the claim that he was assaulted because he didn’t vote for the BJP. This article fact-checks the assertion made in the post.
Claim: Video showing a man being attacked for not voting for the BJP.
Fact: The viral video shows a YSRCP leader from Andhra Pradesh slapping a voter who objected to the leader skipping the queue at a polling booth in Guntur district. This incident is unrelated to the BJP or any of its leaders. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
The viral video is indeed from the 2024 elections. However, it does not show any BJP leader. A reverse image search of the screenshots from the viral video led us to several news reports that featured the same visuals.
According to these reports, the visuals depict an incident that occurred at a polling booth in Tenali, Andhra Pradesh, during the recently concluded fourth phase of the general elections (here & here). The reports suggest that the visuals capture YSR Congress Tenali MLA A. Shivakumar slapping a voter, allegedly in response to the voter’s objection to the legislator skipping queue at a polling booth in Guntur district.
The voter responded by slapping the legislator, after which the MLA’s aides joined in, launching a full-fledged assault on the voter. Several news agencies have covered the incident, highlighting that it took place in Andhra Pradesh and involved a YSRCP MLA.
As the video gained traction, the Election Commission took note of the incident and initiated a thorough investigation into the alleged attack. They directed that YSRCP MLA Siva Kumar be placed under house arrest until the conclusion of polling (here). Hence, these reports suggest that the incident was unrelated to the BJP or any of its leaders.
To sum up, a video showing a YSRCP leader slapping a voter is being shared with the false claim that the BJP is assaulting voters who do not vote for their party.

‘Zee News’ links Rahul Gandhi’s remarks about Wayanad office vandalism to Udaipur tailor’s murder, apologizes later - FACTLY
Sai Krishna Muthyanolla
July 3, 2022
A news clip telecast by ‘Zee News’ is being widely shared on social media claiming that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had referred to the accused of the Udaipur tailor’s murder as children, and that they should be pardoned. Let’s verify the claim made in the post.
Claim: Rahul Gandhi called the Udaipur tailor’s murder accused as children and sought their pardon.
Fact: ‘Zee News’ aired an edited video combining video clips of two different remarks recently made by Rahul Gandhi in Wayanad, Kerala. Rahul Gandhi, during a recent media interaction in Kerala, referred to the student activists who vandalized his MP office in Wayanad as children. He did not call the Udaipur tailor’s murder accused as children. ‘Zee News’ misreported this statement of Rahul Gandhi as being made in the context of the Udaipur incident. ‘Zee News’ issued an apology for telecasting Rahul Gandhi’s remarks with a wrong context linking to the Udaipur’s tailor murder. Hence, the claim made in the post is False.
When we searched to check whether Rahul Gandhi had made any such remarks calling the accused of Udaipur tailor’s murder as children, we found similar visuals in a video published by ‘ANI’, in which Rahul Gandhi was referring to the student activists who vandalized the his MP office in Wayanad as children. ‘ANI’ reported that Rahul Gandhi, while speaking to the media in Kerala, termed the vandalization of his Wayanad office an unfortunate incident and said that he doesn’t have any hostilities toward the perpetrators.
Speaking about the vandalization of his office, Rahul Gandhi said, “Well, first of all, it’s my office. But before being it’s my office, it is the office of the people of Wayanad. This is the office of the voice of the people of Wayanad. So, it’s quite an unfortunate thing. Everywhere in the country, you see the idea of violence will resolve problems, violence will never resolve problems. However, the children who did this, I mean they are also children. So, it’s not fine, it’s not a good thing to do. But they acted in an irresponsible way. I don’t have anger or hostility towards them. They have done a silly thing. So, we should leave it at that”. Rahul Gandhi in the video called student activists who vandalized his MP office Wayanad as children. He did not call the Udaipur tailor’s murder accused as children.  Reporting Rahul Gandhi’s remarks about students who vandalized his MP office in Wayanad, several other news channels have recently published articles and videos. They can be seen here and here.
During this media interaction in Kerala, when a reporter asked Rahul Gandhi to respond to Supreme Court remarks on Nupur Sharma, Rahul Gandhi said, “the atmosphere in the country was created by the ruling dispensation. It is not the person who made this comment. It is the Prime Minister, it is the Home Minister, it is the BJP and RSS that have created this environment in the country. This environment of anger, this environment of anger and frankly, this creation of the environment in the country is an anti-National act”. By clubbing these two video clips of different remarks of Rahul Gandhi, ‘Zee News’ misreported that Rahul Gandhi had referred to the Udaipur tailor’s murder accused as children.
‘Zee News’ later issued an apology for telecasting Rahul Gandhi’s remarks with the wrong context linking to the Udaipur’s tailor murder. ‘Zee News’ anchor Rohit Ranjan made a tweet informing that during their show in DNA, Rahul Gandhi’s statement was misreported with a wrong context linking it to the Udaipur incident.  He mentioned it as a human error and apologized for it. However, an FIR was filed against ‘Zee News’ anchor Rohit Ranjan and a few BJP leaders for misquoting Rahul Gandhi’s remarks.
कल हमारे शो DNA में राहुल गांधी का बयान उदयपुर की घटना से जोड़ कर ग़लत संदर्भ में चल गया था, ये एक मानवीय भूल थी जिसके लिए हमारी टीम क्षमाप्रार्थी हैं, हम इसके लिए खेद जताते हैं pic.twitter.com/YGs7kfbKKi
Expressing his anguish over the heinous murder in Udaipur, on 28 June 2022, Rahul Gandhi tweeted that brutalism in the name of any religion cannot be tolerated in the country. Rahul Gandhi said that those who spread terror using such actions should be punished immediately.
उदयपुर में हुई जघन्य हत्या से मैं बेहद स्तब्ध हूं।
धर्म के नाम पर बर्बरता बर्दाश्त नहीं की जा सकती। इस हैवानियत से आतंक फैलाने वालों को तुरंत सख़्त सज़ा मिले।
हम सभी को साथ मिलकर नफ़रत को हराना है। मेरी सभी से अपील है, कृपया शांति और भाईचारा बनाए रखें।
To sum it up, ‘Zee News’ linked Rahul Gandhi’s remarks about Wayanad office vandalism to Udaipur tailor’s murder, apologized later.
