Claim: Old picture of DMK politician E. V. Velu pulling the rickshaw of the late Karunanidhi.
Fact-check: This photo does not show an old image of Tamil Nadu Minister E. V. Velu pulling the rickshaw of late Karunanidhi - FACTLY
Verdict: the rickshaw puller seen in the picture is not e. v. velu. the photo was taken during a campaign for the 1991 tamil nadu assembly elections in chennai. e. v. velu graduated in tamil literature and initially worked as a bus conductor before contesting for the first time and won on behalf of the aiadmk party in the 1984 tamil nadu assembly elections. e. v. velu joined the dmk party in the year 2000 and there are no news reports about e. v. velu's involvement in the dmk party's campaign for the 1991 tamil nadu assembly elections.. a few journalists from tamil nadu too confirmed that the rickshaw puller seen in the photo was not e. v. velu. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
