Visuals showing people of Andhra Pradesh burning a portrait of TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu for supporting Narendra Modi to form the government

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

The review identifies the video as showing TDP followers protesting the selection of the Guntakal MLA candidate in March 2024, not protesting Naidu’s support for Narendra Modi. It says Jitender Goud’s followers attacked the TDP office and burned banners and photos of Naidu after Gummanur Jayaram was announced as the candidate.

Post com o texto “Bomba! Queiroz é pai de Flávio Bolsonaro. Agora está explicado o empenho nas rachadinhas” e uma captura de tela com o título “Fabrício Queiroz ameaça família Bolsonaro em áudios; ouça – Operador das rachadinhas da família admite paternidade e diz que recebia pagamentos para ficar em silêncio”. A imagem acompanha foto de Queiroz e de Jair Bolsonaro.

Publisher’s rating: Sátira

The review says the viral post claiming Fabrício Queiroz was Flávio Bolsonaro’s father used an altered screenshot: its claim about paternity was invented. It also notes that the account described itself as a parody profile and that comments indicated a joking tone.
