A collage of two photos is being shared widely on social media with a claim that while Odisha CM has greeted Modi with a namaskar upon his arrival at Bhubaneswar airport, Mamata Banerjee was arrogant to greet Modi upon his arrival at Kolkata airport. Modi visited the cyclone-hit states West Bengal and Odisha to review the situation. Let’s fact-check the claim made in the post.
Mamata Banerjee did not greet Modi upon his arrival at Kolkata airport.
Fact: The posted photo was taken just before the customary greetings were exchanged between the leaders. In the video taken upon Modi’s arrival at Kolkata airport, it can be seen that Mamata Banerjee has also greeted Modi with a customary namaskar. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.
