Did PM Modi donate Rs 21 in an envelope at Bhilwara Temple in Rajasthan? Here is the reality

A video wherein a temple priest claims that Prime Minister Narendra Modi donated merely Rs 21 in a white envelope within the temple’s donation field, has been going viral on social media up to now few days. Soon after, a number of I.N.D.I. Alliance leaders and their supporters began mocking PM Modi for donating a small quantity within the “daan peti”.

The viral video is from January this yr when Prime Minister Modi visited the Devnarayan Temple in Rajasthan’s Bhilwara to pay his respects on the temple whereas the celebration of Lord Devnarayan’s 1111th beginning anniversary was ongoing. According to the temple’s priest Hemraj Poswal, as seen within the viral video, “When the donation box was opened, Rs 21 came out of the envelope.” The priest claimed that three envelopes have been discovered within the donation field 9 months after it was opened. He added that Modi had dropped a white envelope within the field and in the identical envelope, simply Rs 21 have been discovered. The others contained Rs 101 and Rs 2100 as claimed by the temple priest.

The mentioned video was then utilized by the political opponents of PM Modi to focus on him saying that PM Modi “deceived” the Gurjar neighborhood because the temple holds particular significance for the Gurjars.

Congress chief Dheeraj Gurjar claimed that PM Modi “deceived” the Gurjar neighborhood as he provided merely Rs 21 within the donation field saying that ” It shouldn’t be a great factor for the Prime Minister of the nation to deceive any society by exhibiting them a dream.”

गुर्जर समाज एक सीधी, सच्ची, ईमानदार, सरल एवं स्वाभिमानी कौम है और किसी कौम व समाज को इस तरह छलना अच्छी बात तो नहीं है माननीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi जी।

Samajwadi Party chief I.P. Singh claimed that whereas PM Modi gave Rs 21 lakh crore to businessman Gautam Adani, he provided simply Rs 21 to the Hindu deities. “Modi ji put Rs 21 lakh crore in Adani’s donation box but offered Rs 21 to the deities. Even the poorest Hindu does not put so much money in the charity box anymore,” the Samajwadi Party chief posted on X.

अडानी के दान पात्र में मोदी जी ने 21 लाख करोड़ रुपये डाल दिये पर आराध्य देवी देवताओं को 21 रु0 चढ़ाये।

इतना पैसा तो गरीब से गरीब हिन्दू दान पात्र में अब नहीं डालता। pic.twitter.com/lGm2xm29TH

Another Congress chief Surendra Rajput claimed that whereas PM Modi offers Rs 21 to the temple, he presents diamond value lakhs of rupees to the spouse of the American President. “Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi gives Rs 21 to the temple and gives a diamond worth lakhs of rupees to the wife of the President of America! After that he also gives sermon on Sanatan Dharma,” Rajput posted on X.

It is amusing to see the audacity of the Congress chief to even point out Sanatan Dharma when his celebration is in alliance with DMK, a celebration that overtly requires the eradication of Sanatan Dharma.

प्रधान मंत्री श्री नरेंद्र मोदी मंदिर में 21 रुपये देते हैं और अमरीका के राष्ट्रपति की पत्नी को लाखों रुपये का हीरा देते हैं!
उसके बाद सनातन धर्म पर प्रवचन भी देते हैं। pic.twitter.com/Lr7RO85xFN

Amidst the web assault on PM Modi over Rs 21, one other video has surfaced on social media whereby it’s clearly seen that PM Modi didn’t put any envelope within the donation field as claimed by priest Hemraj Poswal, the truth is, PM Modi had immediately dropped some foreign money notes into it.

As seen within the video, Prime Minister Modi proceeded by means of the temple, performing rituals, praying, and ultimately making a donation (with out an envelope) as an expression of respect and reverence. While all this was occurring, priest Hemraj Poswal was standing behind PM Modi at a long way.

The visuals make it clear that PM Modi didn’t use a white envelope to make the donation, as alleged by the priest. This raises questions in regards to the veracity of the claims made by the priest. Moreover, the query arises if there’s extra to the image than what meets the eyes forward of the approaching state meeting elections.
