Yesterday some political leaders like Lalu Prasad Yadav, Congress' spokesman Surjewala again claimed that the PM Narendra Modi had promised to deposit Rs 15 lakh in everyone's bank account for free.
.
This is of course, an outrageous lie, since the PM had never made any such promise. BJP leaders have not countered the lie that Modi promised free 15 lakhs to all.
.
No one ever heard of this in the 2014 LS polls in April-May, not until October 2014 actually was this ever heard. In October 2014 Pratik Sinha of "Cong proxies" aka TruthofGujarat took out a video containing some reference to this, but absolutely no promise of free 15 lakh to anyone.
.
After this, this lie was spread rapidly by Congress and AAP leaders, and other politicians like Nitish Kumar, Lalu Prasad Yadav, and the media also helped in their lies.
.
So much has the lie gone unchallenged, that even Swarajya Magazine believed it once in one of its articles!
.
Of course, what is the reality? See the full video.

Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga has rightly said, "If AAP or Congress people can show a real video in which Modi said- 'I promise to deposit Rs 15 lakh in everyone's account', then I (Bagga) will take responsibility of depositing Rs 15 lakh in the accounts of AAP and Congress leaders!"
