A video is going viral on social media claiming that Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath did not acknowledge Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, while all other ministers folded their hands and greeted the duo.

The claim further states that Adityanath acknowledged Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.

What's the truth?: The viral video is clipped. In the original video, Adityanath acknowledges PM Modi by quickly folding his hands.

How did we find out the truth?: We noticed a board behind the ministers which stated, 'Mukhyamantri Parishad, 27-28 July, New Delhi'.

• Taking a cue, we looked for this event's visuals on PM Modi's official YouTube channel and found a video from 28 July.

• The title stated, "PM Modi attends a meeting of BJP CMs and Deputy CMs".

• The first two seconds of this video show Aditynath folding his hands to greet PM Modi and quickly putting them down, and this is where the viral video begins.

This is a slowed down version of the original video which shows Adityanath folding hands.
