An old photo has been revived to show that people are not attending BJP's election rally in West Bengal.
On conducting a reverse image search, we came across news reports published by Hindustan News and Amar Ujala, which carried the same image of empty chairs. The photos were clicked at an event called the youth assimilation program (Yuva Udgosh) organized by BJP in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, on January 20, 2018. Moreover, the three BJP leaders wore the same clothes as seen in the viral image, and the background setting matched perfectly.
Hence we mark the claim as False as the viral photos belong to a three-year-old event and not from a recent rally in West Bengal.
