An image, which appears on the sign of a railway station with the text “Tamil Nadu Says Go Back Modi”. It is written in it We hate you, it is shared on social networks.
The photo appears in front of the backdrop of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s next stopover in Chennai on May 26, where he is scheduled to inaugurate development projects.
However, we found that the original photo shows the kanniyakumari station sign, which says “Kanniyakumari”. The viral symbol was updated to update the text.
AFFIRM
The symbol is widely shared on social media. Some of the legends read: “Tamil Nadu ? says #GoBackModi (sic)”.

WHAT WE DISCOVER
While acting as an opposite symbol in Yandex’s viral photo, we came across an article published in Business Insider on March 17, 2016.
The article attributes the credits of the symbol to Ed Hanley, a photographer who documented his 2016 on the Dibrugarh-Kanniyakumari Vivek Express, India’s longest adventure.
The photo clicked on Ed Hanley in 2016.

Then we discovered Ed Hanley’s officer that contained a link to a YouTube video called “Kanyakumari Express Timelapse”.
The time-lapse video uploaded through Hanley on March 3, 2016 and showed the original edition of the viral photo at 1:41.
The video showed the adventure of the Dibrugarh-Kanniyakumari Vivek Express that lasted 85 hours.
The similarities can be by comparing the original photo with the viral photo.

Obviously, a photograph of the Kanniyakumari station sign in Tamil Nadu was manipulated to express a message that Tamil Nadu opposes Prime Minister Modi.
