Fact Check: EVM Banned In Rajasthan, MP And Chhattisgarh & President Rule Imposed In Bihar?

The Press Information Bureau, commonly abbreviated as PIB, on Tuesday, shot down a series of fake news peddled by a YouTube channel.

A channel called 'Yahan Sach Dekho' was involved in spreading fake news around the government. In a series of tweets, the PIB has given clarification about the fake news.

From Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) being banned in poll-bound Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh to Prime Minister Narendra Modi abolishing the post of President of India, many baseless news was being spread by the said YouTube channel.

In one such fake video, the channel claimed that the President's rule has been imposed in Bihar. The worrying part of the story is that the channel has over three million subscribers.

"A YouTube channel 'Yahan Sach Dekho' with over 3 M subscribers and over 100 M views is peddling Fake News about the Election Commission of India, the Chief Justice of India & the PM of India #PIBFactCheck has found that nearly all of its claims are fabricated," the message from the Twitter handle of PIB Fact Check read.

It has also appealed to people not to believe such fake news.

Also, the PIB has busted fake news spread by another YouTube channel called Educational Dost. The channel is spreading fake news around various government schemes.

In one such video, it claimed that the Centre has announced that every citizen in the country will get Rs 18,000. In another clip, it claimed that ration distribution will cease across India.
