Claim: PM Modi's speech claiming God is omnipresent in Uttar Pradesh – Modi predicting God in Gyanvapi.
Fact-check: 2017 video of PM Modi's speech in Varanasi is being shared linking it to Gyanvapi Mosque Shivling issue - FACTLY
Verdict: modi made this speech during the assembly election campaign in varanasi in 2017. in the viral excerpt, modi was actually paraphrasing a state mp's satirical dig at the condition of roads, using the word 'khuda' as a wordplay for 'खुदाई'. and modi made these comments in the context of highlighting the negligence of previous governments regarding the development of varanasi and pitching his vision for the development of the city. the transcript of his speech is available on pm narendra modi's personal website. it is clear from the transcript that the viral excerpt has nothing to do with the recent developments of a reported discovery of shivling in the gyanvapi mosque. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
