PM Modi is offering a mobile recharge of ₹239 for every Indian as part of his election campaign for the 2024 General elections

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The claim concerned social-media posts linking to unknown websites and alleging that PM Narendra Modi was offering every Indian a ₹239 mobile recharge as part of his campaign for the 2024 general elections. FACTLY reports that it searched official sources for evidence of the scheme and found none; it also says the BJP had not announced such an offer as part of its election campaign. This addresses the specific campaign-linked offer, rather than a different free-recharge promotion. (S1)
