On September 12, Arvind Kejriwal had organized a dialogue program with auto drivers in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. During this, Kejriwal accepted the invitation of an auto driver and had dinner at his house. In the same backdrop, an image is going viral on social media.

In the viral image, Kejriwal can be seen standing with some people inside a house. A picture of PM Narendra Modi on the wall of the house can also be seen. While sharing this image, people on social media claimed that the picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi was mounted on the wall of the auto driver whose house Kejriwal visited to have dinner yesterday.

Kejriwal shared images of his visit to the same auto driver's house for dinner. One can see the viral picture in his tweet as well. However, the picture of PM Modi was not presented there, but some other picture was hanging on the wall.

While sharing this image, he wrote a caption which reads, "In Ahmedabad, auto driver Vikrambhai Dantani lovingly took us home for dinner, introduced us to the whole family, treated us with delicious food and great respect. Heartfelt thanks to Vikrambhai and all the auto driver brothers of Gujarat for this immense affection."

Arvind Kejriwal also shared the same image on his Facebook handle as well. Here also, someone else picture was mounted on the wall.

We also compared the viral image with the image shared by Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and found that the viral image is edited and PM Modi's image was added using some editing tool. Below you can see the comparison.
