How did we find that out?: We searched for PM Modi's speech in Hyderabad on YouTube with the words "PM Modi Hyderabad" and came across the full-version of his speech.

  • The video was published on his official YouTube on 10 May with a title that said, "PM Modi addresses a public meeting in Hyderabad, Telangana."

  • The Prime Minister was seen delivering speech to the people of the state as part of his election campaign and to seek support for the NDA coalition.

  • At around the 3:13 timestamp, PM Modi could be heard saying, "This visual, this environment clearly shows the mood of Telangana. The people of Telangana is saying no to Congress, no to BRS, no to MIM, only vote for BJP. We will make BJP win."

  • Team WebQoof went through the entire speech, however, we could not find any evidence of PM Modi supporting AIMIM.

Conclusion: It is clear that the video is edited and is being shared to mislead the viewers.
