Explanation

As the tenure of the 15th President of India, Ram Nath Kovind, is coming to an end, the election for the new President will be held on July 18.

Meanwhile, the photo of Home Minister Amit Shah walking on the red carpet and Ram Nath Kovind walking out of it is going viral on social media, saying that even if Ram Nath Kovind is the President, he cannot walk on the red carpet.

What is the Truth?

Searching for the photo of the NDTV news spread about Ram Nath Kovind, it is found that the President and the Home Minister are attending the inauguration ceremony of Sardar Patel Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad in 2021 under the name “Narendra Modi Stadium”. The viral photo is taken from the below news clip.

However, there was only a short scene taken during the visit of Ram Nath Kovind and Amit Shah. So when searching for the complete video, the full live video of the President’s red carpet reception is found on the President’s YouTube channel and the Doordarshan channel.

The President, who arrived at the function, goes to the stage after the Bhoomi Puja event. At 4.46 minutes, President Ram Nath Kovind and Amit Shah could be seen crossing the pathway instead of walking on the red carpet spread there.
