An old video purporting to show Congress workers in Karnataka burning an effigy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and instead setting their lungis on fire is viral online and is being falsely connected to the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. Fact-checking platform BOOM found that the claims are false, the video is from 2012 and shows members of the Kerala Students Union (KSU) burning an effigy of Mahatma Gandhi University's then Vice-Chancellor.
