Bhupendra Patel took oath as the Chief Minister of Gujarat after Vijay Rupani resigned. Vijay Rupani, who was the CM of Gujarat for more than five years, tendered his resignation on 11 September. Meanwhile, a video of ABP News has started going viral on social media, in which Vijay Rupani can be seen removing the red light from the car. It is being claimed with the video that showing simplicity and morality, Vijay Rupani himself removed the red beacon from his car after leaving the post of CM.
While sharing the video, people are taunting the leaders of other political parties. People say that there is one Vijay Rupani who removed the red beacon from his hands after leaving the post of CM, while on the other hand there are some families who do not feel like without VIP culture. With such different captions, this video is being shared on Facebook and Twitter .
India Today Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA) has found that the video is from 2017 and not after Vijay Rupani stepped down as Chief Minister. At that time, the Modi government had decided to end the VIP culture with red beacons, due to which Vijay Rupani removed the red beacon from his car.
After searching with the help of some keywords, the truth of the video came out. Vijay Rupani himself had tweeted this video on 20 April 2017 and wrote that he has removed the red beacon from his car, respecting the historic decision of the Modi government .
Apart from Vijay Rupani, many ministers including Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh had removed the red beacon from their car . This decision of the Modi government was also welcomed by the opposition leaders. In the judgment, only emergency vehicles were allowed to use red or any other colored beacon.
Overall, it becomes clear here that the viral video is more than four years old and not the recent one. It is being shared on social media by linking it to the resignation of Vijay Rupani.
