About 18,000 Twitter accounts spread fake news for the Bharatiya Janata Party, and 147 accounts do it for the Indian National Congress.

There is insufficient publicly available credible evidence at the current time to accurately verify this claim.

There is insufficient publicly available credible evidence at the current time to accurately verify this claim.As per The Print article dated 31 January 2020, a study had been conducted by a Reddit user by the username ‘/u/onosmosis’ with an algorithm, analysing lakhs of unverified Twitter accounts to identify trends in online misinformation and around 4 lakh of them with a clear political leaning. The article adds that about 1.2 lakh of these accounts were identified as pro-Congress and 2.7 lakh as the pro-BJP and that the number of accounts that spread misinformation and propaganda for the BJP was 17,779 and 147 for the Congress.

People have posted the same article on their social media since then.

However, upon research, such a Reddit post or the study was not found online. This claim is unverifiable because no other credible sources or independent researches have backed such figures about the Twitter accounts.
