Eknath Shinde's campaign event at Rahatni
Uddhav Thackeray’s party state coordinator, Ayodhya Poul, shared the picture from the BJP event, claiming that Eknath Shinde, who is doing politics in the name of Balasaheb Thackeray, did not even bother to put his picture on the banner.
Another Twitter user, Namrata Uikey, also shared the image claiming that the Balasaheb Thackeray’s picture was missing from the banner.
Eknath Shinde, who appears to be very fond of Balasaheb Thackeray, did he really leave his image off the banner? Lets fact check.

We started our research with a reverse image search image. The reverse image search led us to the report by Suchi News. As per the report, the picture is from the Rahatni campaign meeting, which was held last night.
Furthermore, because the event occurred in Maharashtra, we reviewed the regional news media reports and YouTube videos. Our team discovered a live video footage from the campaign event on the ABP Majha YouTube channel.
Moreover, after Eknath Shinde’s speech concludes, the camera angle shifts to display the complete banner. Balasaheb’s image, along with Shinde’s, can be seen on the banner at 25:53 minutes in the video.
Hence, with the help of live video, it is clear that the Ayodhya Poul shared the cropped image. To target and defame Eknath Shinde, the Twitter users cropped Balasaheb from the frame. Thus, the image is fake.
