Why we say that›

2015 Rajkot Modi temple by fans exists. Reel adds unproven conspiracy and flop claims.

The 2015 temple construction holds. The reel turns it into a deliberate BJP conspiracy that spent thousands on failed posters and makes viewers propaganda victims. No source supports the motive, expenditure or effect on viewers.

Based on only a few sources, so read this as a first look, not the last word.

From reporting

How it's framed (5)›
Angry wording - Repeated use of 'propaganda exposed', 'andhbhakt', 'conspiracy', 'flop' to deride political devotion and the Modi temple event.
Selective editing - Clips of people participating in what appears to be a Modi idol worship or temple event are juxtaposed with captions and clips labeling it propaganda, failure, and contrasting with past protests against CAA and Ram Mandir.
Identity pressure - Directly addresses viewer: if you received this video you are also a victim of propaganda. Mocks BJP supporters as 'number one andhbhakts'.
Guessing at motives - Sochi samjhi saazish hai
Guessing at motives - Propaganda ke shikaar ho chuke hain
