Claim: Former Cricketer Sachin Tendulkar along with his wife met Narendra Modi to show his support for BJP in the General Elections-2019. (FACEBOOK POST, 2019-04-10)
Evidence (2021-05-25): Sachin Tendulkar is regarded as one of the greatest cricketers of all time. While he was a master with the willow when it came to cricket, of the field, the Master Blaster remained a shy and reserved person in the initial phase of his cricketing career. Sachin had met his wife Anjali for the first time when he was just 17 and had returned home from India's tour of England. [...] During the launch of Sachin Tendulkar's autobiography 'Playing It My Way' in 2015, Anjali narrated how the legendary cricketer was nervous when he had first invited his wife home. Sachin didn't want his parents to find out about the couple and hatched a plan to introduce Anjali as a journalist to his family. [...] Sachin and Anjali completed 26 years of marriage on Tuesday and will be celebrating their 26th anniversary. The star couple has two children - Sara and Arjun. A doctor by profession, Anjali has been one of the biggest pillars for Sachin throughout his cricketing career.

Evidence (2024-07-18): From the Indian cricket fraternity, not all made it, as most were still basking in the glory of the T20 World Cup, but two of the biggest faces – Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni – attended the event in their full glory. Still of Sachin and wife Anjali, and Dhoni, along with wife Sakshi and daughter Ziva, became all the rage as the two Indian cricket icons were back being part of the Ambanis wedding carnival. [...] On to Sachin, Ranveer pointed out that he had to seek Anjali's Tendulkar's help to realise his dream of meeting the Master Blaster. Like so many of us, he, too, has grown up watching Tendulkar weave magic on the cricket field for 24 years. So, who in their sanest of minds, would want to miss such an opportunity? Ranveer, in the process, surely didn't, and in the process, realised that someone in the Tendulkar family is a consumer of his podcasts. "After meeting Sachin Tendulkar, my childhood dream was realised. He knows that he is Sachin Tendulkar, so I thanked him for making our childhood special. When you look at him, it's like a god's angel is standing next to you. I spoke to Anjali ma'am too. Actually, I asked Anjali ma'am for a photo with Sachin sir because a lot of people were asking for it. Ma'am is a watcher of TRS, especially TRS episodes," he added.

Evidence (2019-04-12): Many Facebook users are sharing a post with the picture of Sachin Tendulkar and his wife with Narendra Modi. In the post, it is claimed that Sachin Tendulkar has met Modi to show his support for BJP in the General Elections-2019. Let’s try to analyze the claims made in the post. [...] Fact: The picture in the post is the one taken in the context of Sachin Tendulkar briefing Modi about the release of his biopic "Sachin: A Billion Dreams". So, the claim made in the post is MISLEADING. On doing Google Reverse Image search, the picture in the post was found to be the one taken during the meeting of Sachin Tendulkar and his wife with Narendra Modi, to give information about his then-upcoming movie "Sachin: A Billion Dreams". ‘AajTak’ has published an article regarding the same on May 19, 2017. There was no mention regarding Sachin’s support to BJP anywhere in it.

Evidence (2024-01-22): General elections are due in India in the next few months and Mr Modi's political rivals say the governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will be seeking votes in the temple's name in a country where 80% of the population is Hindu. [...] Televised live, it showed Mr Modi performing religious rituals inside the temple's sanctum along with priests and Mohan Bhagwat, head of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) - the ideological fountainhead of Hindu nationalist parties. [...] Some of India's biggest celebrities, including Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan and cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, attended.

Evidence (2019-01-28): Posing to engage: The next phase of celebrity engagement, in the last phase of campaigning, saw Modi pose alongside a number of film stars, with no explicit endorsement from them. Such celebrity engagement included a kite-flying session with Salman Khan, and casual meetings with Rajinikanth, Vijay, and a number of southern film stars, a region where the BJP was particularly weak. Indeed, some of these actors, including Salman and Vijay, explicitly noted that they were not endorsing Modi—Salman even said he would vote for a Congress party candidate. However, the willingness of the celebrities to pose alongside Modi and Modi’s willingness to engage with them suggests a two-way acknowledgement of each other’s’ importance. Posing and tweeting with southern film stars, Modi undercut the idea that the BJP was largely a northern party, and likewise tweeting favourably about Muslim public figures including Abdul Kalam, Salman Khan, A R Rahman, and Sania Mirza undercut suggestions of Modi’s anti-secular credentials.

Evidence (2024-06-06): In the first two Modi governments the BJP - strengthened by not needing NDA partners to remain in power - enforced a strict limit on berth allocation - one post to each allied party - to NDA members. [...] READ | Modi 3.0: BJP Likely To Keep Top Ministries, Allies Push For More The BJP, for its part, is believed to understand that a greater degree of flexibility is required at this time, but it is unwilling to hand over key posts - such as the Lok Sabha Speaker's Chair (demanded by Mr Naidu's TDP) or critical ministries like Finance, Home, Defence, and External Affairs. In Modi 1.0 and 2.0 allies received relatively low-key portfolios, such as food processing and heavy industries.

Evidence (2022-08-15): 57. Boy wonder Sachin Tendulkar makes his debut (1989) [...] It may seem surprising in 2022, but till June 2013, a year before the election that saw his ascent to the top elected post in the country, there was no certainty that Narendra Modi would be the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Prime Ministerial candidate. In June 2013, he was named chairman of the party’s election committee, and in September, its Prime Ministerial candidate – with both decisions being opposed by party veteran L K Advani. A combination of his stature as the tallest Hindu leader in the country, his incorruptible image and track record as the chief minister of Gujarat, and smart social engineering in important Hindi belt states such as Uttar Pradesh worked to Modi’s advantage – as did disaffection with the Congress-led UPA’s mismanagement of the economy and involvement in several corruption scandals. The result: the BJP became the first party to achieve a majority in the Lok Sabha on its own in three decades, and the party would go on to better these numbers in 2019.

Evidence (2024-09-12): Although Shiv Sena's primary base always remained in Maharashtra, it tried to expand to a pan-Indian base. In the 1970s, it gradually moved from advocating a pro-Marathi ideology to supporting a broader Hindu nationalist agenda,[22] and aligned itself with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Shiv Sena took part in Mumbai (BMC) municipal elections for its entire existence. In 1989, it entered into an alliance with the BJP for Lok Sabha as well as Maharashtra Legislative Assembly elections. The alliance in the latter was temporarily broken in the 2014 elections due to seat sharing adjustment, although it was quickly reformed. Shiv Sena was one of the founding members of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in 1998, and it also participated in Vajpayee Government from 1998 to 2004 and the Narendra Modi Government from 2014 to 2019.

Evidence (2024-09-16): In the epic 2019 world cup final between England and New Zealand, I began by wanting the underdogs, the Kiwis, to win. But by the end, I didn’t begrudge England, and even though the tie was decided in farcical manner over boundaries struck, that England comprehensively beat New Zealand in the group stages justified the eventual outcome for me. Like most other non-complete bastards, I have a soft spot for an underdog: in sports, politics, life in general. The Indian cricket team in the 90s (AKA whipping boys inc.) were easy to like: stylish, occasional winners, predictably unpredictable, and led by the best batsman in the world. The team’s rise coincided with India’s increasing neoliberal ‘development’. Tendulkar’s career (1989–2013) spanned over four decades of rampant economic growth, as well as increasing social and wealth inequality. After Tendulkar retired, Narendra Modi — a politician once blacklisted by G8 world leaders owing to his part in enflaming religious based violence against Muslims in the Ahmedabad atrocities in 2002 — was elected in 2014 as Prime Minister through leading his right wing Bharat Janata Party (BJP) to election victory.

Claim: Claim: Bahanaga Bazar Railway Station Master Mohammad sharif has been absconding since the occurrence of the accident and the structure located near the accident site is a mosque (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-06-04)
Evidence (2023-06-04): The individual responsible for overseeing the Bahanaga Bazar Railway station at the time of the accident was Assistant Station Master SB Mohanty, who is currently under investigation by the Railway Authorities. Furthermore, it has been confirmed that the structure near the accident site is, in fact, an ISKCON Temple and not a mosque. Hence, the claims made in the post are FALSE.

Evidence (2023-06-05): In Short - A social media user claimed that the station master at Bahanaga Bazar station is absconding - The post said the station master was a Muslim man and fled after the train accident in Odisha - India Today found that there was no officer on duty named Mohammed Sharif [...] The viral claim did not mention the name of the railway station where Sharif allegedly worked. We found that the Bahanaga Bazar railway station was the closest to the accident site. We could not find any credible news report about a station master by the name of Mohammed Sharif absconding from that station. [...] Bahanaga Bazar station superintendent JK Nayak, speaking to India Today, said that no one called Mohammad Sharif handled station affairs. Nayak said, "No one is on the run. Everyone is cooperating in the inquiry. SB Mohnty, who was the station superintendent at the time of the accident, has been shunted to Khurda to join the investigation."

Evidence (2023-06-15): But the multiple-train accident on June 2 in Bahanaga Bazar station in Balasore in north-eastern Odisha, which involved three trains and left 288 passengers dead, shook the Railway establishment from its slumber and left the entire nation stunned. [...] Bahanaga Bazar station has five railway tracks in all—two main lines on which the express trains were travelling, two loop lines on which two freight trains were detained to allow the express trains to pass, and one platform line, beyond which the office of the Deputy Station Superintendent is located. [...] In the Bahanaga Bazar accident, the coaches did not just capsize but, from one account, one coach appeared to have done half a cartwheel before landing on its side. From the available videos and pictures, it is clear that the rake composition included coaches cannibalised from Duronto Express trains, introduced in 2007—perhaps a result of Indian politicians’ continuing fascination with the concept of high-speed trains.

Evidence (2024-08-01): On 2 June 2023, three trains collided in Balasore district in the east Indian state of Odisha. The accident occurred around 19:00 IST when Coromandel Express, a passenger train, collided with a stationary goods train near Bahanaga Bazar railway station on the Howrah–Chennai main line. Due to the high speed of the passenger train and the heavy tonnage of the goods train, the impact resulted in 21 coaches of the Coromandel Express derailing and three of those collided with the oncoming SMVT Bengaluru–Howrah Superfast Express on the adjacent track. [...] Crash [edit]On 2 June 2023, the Coromandel Express (Train no:12841) was travelling from Shalimar in Howrah, West Bengal, to Chennai Central in Chennai, Tamil Nadu on the up line of the Howrah-Chennai main line near Bahanaga Bazar railway station. At the same time, the SMVT Bengaluru–Howrah Express (Train no:12864) was travelling in the opposite direction from Sir M. Visvesvaraya Terminal in Bengaluru, Karnataka, to Howrah on the adjacent down line. Both trains were not scheduled to stop at the Bahanaga Bazar railway station and received a green signal to proceed along the main line. The trains were travelling fast, close to the maximum permitted speed of 128 km/h (80 mph).[5][6][7]
