The claim
A Navbharat Times (NBT) news graphic quotes Swami Ramdev praising the Congress party and apologising for previously tarnishing the party’s image.
Original review summary
The review found no credible reports or posts on Ramdev’s official channels confirming the quote, and no matching report on NBT’s platforms. NBT said the viral graphic was fake, and the review concluded that the attributed statement was fabricated.[S1]
Additional context
On 21 August 2026, NBT posted a warning that fake posts using its name had been circulating and urged users to rely on its official platforms for authentic information. [S1]
