Did A BJP Leader Carry Poll Kit With Gold Biscuit To Lure Voters?

By - BOOM FACT Check Team | 15 May 2024 7:01 PM IST

Claim: A video of Mumbai Police officials searching a cardboard box containing a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) poll campaigning kit, including Modi masks, BJP flags, and a rectangular box of perfume, is viral on social media claiming that gold biscuits were found with a BJP leader to lure voters.

Fact: BOOM, in its factcheck, found that the rectangular object is a perfume spray, not gold biscuit as claimed. Ajay Badgujar, BJP's District Vice President from north central Mumbai, confirmed in an interview with NDTV that the object was a perfume box. He also stated that the voice in the viral video is his own, and he had sarcastically shouted that it is a gold biscuit as he was frustrated with the cops.

Tools used: We came across an NDTV interview in which he said that it's a perfume box. Also, BOOM's reporter has seen the same rectangular perfume box being distributed during previous elections part of BJP's election kit, which also includes other merchandise such as a notebook, scarf, a Modi mask and a cap.
