Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently released a photo and video of himself feeding peacocks at his Lok Kalyan Mark home. The released video and photos became the talk of the Indian media. Similarly, it also received criticism on social media as a photoshoot of the Prime Minister during the Corona epidemic.

In this context, Prime Minister Modi was with the peacock yesterday, with the duck today, and two photos of what tomorrow will be like are going viral on social media across India. Sitting on the grass near the tree, Modi is surrounded by two books, a MAC computer and ducks near to read the newspaper. This photo is also being criticized.

Prime Minister Modi had a beard and moustache in the videos released after the corona impact. But, the look is different in the photo surrounded by ducks. So, it seemed like an old photo.
