Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw addressed “misinformation" spread by Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of social media company Meta, on a podcast with Joe Rogan. Zuckerberg, who was on an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, a podcast millions globally listen to, claimed that most incumbent governments, including the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Democratic Alliance (NDA), had lost their positions post-Covid pandemic. “It’s disappointing to see misinformation from Mr. Zuckerberg himself. Let’s uphold facts and credibility", Vaishnaw wrote on X.

“India conducted the 2024 elections with over 640 million voters. People of India reaffirmed their trust in NDA led by PM Narendra Modi Ji’s leadership", Vaishnaw said on X (formerly Twitter).
