Were Shoes Thrown At Akhilesh Yadav During Roadshow In UP's Kannauj?

By - BOOM FACT Check Team | 13 May 2024 9:13 PM IST

Claim: A video featuring Samajwadi Party (SP) national president Akhilesh Yadav is being shared on social media claiming that it shows people throwing shoes and slippers at Yadav during his roadshow in Uttar Pradesh's Kannauj.

Fact: BOOM, in its factcheck, found the claim to be false. We spoke to local SP MLA Rekha Verma and a local reporter who confirmed that Akhilesh's supporters were throwing flowers and garlands during his roadshow on April 27, 2024.

Tools used: We traced the viral video to an Instagram account and upon reviewing screenshots from the video, it became evident that flowers and garlands were being tossed during the roadshow. We ran a related keyword search on Google and found several video reports about the roadshow. However, none of the reports stated that shoes and slippers were thrown aiming at the SP leader.
