Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kapil Mishra falsely claimed on Friday that a New York Times article about the Aam Aadmi Party's efforts to transform Delhi's government schools used a photo of a private school in the capital.
Mishra shared photos of students in St. Mary's School, Delhi claiming the school featured by NYT in their story was a privately run school and not Sarvoday Vidyalaya, a government school run by AAP.
BOOM was able to independently verify that the photos published by NYT were taken at the Sarvodaya Vidyalaya in New Delhi's Kakrola located in Sector 16-B of the area.
Mishra tweeted a set of two photos - a New York Times photo of a classroom at Sarvodaya Vidyalaya, New Delhi and another photo from a private school - Mother Mary's School in Delhi falsely claiming that the students in both photos are wearing the same uniforms.
The New York Times published the article online on August 16, 2022, and on the front page of its international edition on August 18, 2022. The report praised the ruling Aam Aadmi Party for overhauling the education system in the national capital and mentioned AAP leader Manish Sisodia for his role in transforming government-run schools since 2015. The same article was also republished by Khaleej Times crediting NYT.
