Mitten im Lockdown 2021 hat die Regierung nach einer ORF-Gala eine Party gefeiert.

Publisher’s rating: Auf dem Foto ist keine «Champagner-Party der Regierung» zu sehen, sondern die ORF-Charity-Gala «Licht ins Dunkel». Nach Angaben des ORF hat es nach der live übertragenen TV-Produktion keine Aftershowparty gegeben.

The photo shows the ORF charity gala “Licht ins Dunkel,” held in late November 2021, not a government champagne party. The ORF said there was no after-show party after the live broadcast; the people shown were participants in the production. [S1]

Bharata Ratna awardee enjoys lifelong income tax exemption, free lifetime travel on Air India and Indian Railways, participation in parliamentary proceedings, privilege equivalent to cabinet rank, Z-grade security as required, VVIP status, treated as a state guest within the country, and comprehensive facilities provided by the Indian Embassy during international travel

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

The review says the claim is misleading. It reports that awardees are entitled to lifetime free executive-class travel on Air India and diplomatic passports, and that state governments are advised to declare them state guests within their states. The cited response does not specify lifetime income-tax exemption, Indian Railways travel, parliamentary participation, cabinet-rank privileges, or Z-category security.

The budget speeches by Prime Minister Modi and Nirmala Sitharaman indicate discrepancies in the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana figures

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

The review says Sitharaman cited figures for the rural PMAY scheme, while Modi referred to homes provided without specifying rural or urban coverage. It reports that the combined number of homes under PMAY’s rural and urban variants is approximately four crore, so the figures are not directly discrepant.

Pra quem acha aí que o governo do PT foi ruim, foi um péssimo governo, nada. Foi bom, pensa num governo bom. Acabamos de vir de uma escolta do banco pra receber aqui do coitado do usuário o bolsa-usuário. Ele vai o resto da vida receber 1.000 conto, 1.000 conto por ele ser usuário de droga. Ele não precisa trabalhar mais, não. Ele não precisa ter família, não precisa ter renda, ele não precisa ter nada. Ele só é usuário.
