Fake images depicting less crowd at Mamata Banerjee's rally in Bankura were shared on social media.

A significant number of people attended Mamata Banerjee's rally in the Bankura district of West Bengal.

A significant number of people attended Mamata Banerjee's rally in the Bankura district of West Bengal. The state assembly elections are scheduled to be held in 8 phases in West Bengal. TMC star campaigner Mamata Banerjee held a campaign rally at the Bankura district on March 16. Since then, a set of images circulated on social media claiming that her rally carried a deserted look.

We examined the live video footage of the rally held at Bankura uploaded on YouTube and found a vast crowd of supporters attending the rally to listen to their leader. This corroborated with the images published by other

leading media houses.

Since the images shared are fake, we find the claim to be True.
