FACTLYElections & voting

The Hindi newspaper Dainik Bhaskar published a report predicting the lead of the I.N.D.I.A bloc in 10 states in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The review found that the viral screenshot was fake: Dainik Bhaskar’s Bhopal edition on 13 April 2024 did not publish the alleged survey, and the review says no other edition carried it either. Dainik Bhaskar also denounced the survey as fake on 13 April 2024; its separate survey published on 14 April did not predict an I.N.D.I.A bloc lead in 10 states.
