  • NDTV, Zee News, and Hindustan Times misreported that former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh dropped 'Congress' from his Twitter bio after announcing that he was quitting the party on Thursday. However, BOOM found that Singh had never mentioned 'Congress' in his bio even when he was the chief minister. In an interview to NDTV on September 30, 2021, Singh declared that while he is not joining the BJP, he is definitely quitting Congress. His comments came a day after meeting Home Minister Amit Shah at his residence. Singh resigned as chief minister on September 18, 2021, amid bitter infighting within the Congress's Punjab unit and his public sparring with former Congress Punjab President Navjot Singh Sidhu. NDTV, Hindustan Times, Zee News, The Tribune, India TV, and The Quint misreported that Singh has 'dropped Congress' from his official Twitter account bio. The Quint later put out a correction for the error and also fact-checked the misleading reporting.
