90% of small and medium businesses do not get bank loans.
Access problems are real; the 90% line is not the official rate.

What they said
90% of MSMEs get no bank loan
Prayagraj rally · 8 August 2026, 8 Aug 2026
What is actually true
RBI and MSME credit data show a large, growing stock of MSME loans. 90% unbanked is not the official stock figure.
RBI publishes outstanding MSME credit as a large and, in recent years, growing stock. That stock cannot exist if 90% of MSMEs officially get no bank loan.
Priority-sector and MSME lending targets are official RBI and government categories.
Many small firms are outside formal credit. That access gap is real. It is not the same as an official 90% “do not get bank loans” rate.
PIB material on MSME credit refers to accounts and amounts sanctioned, not a 90% exclusion rate.
Access problems are real; the 90% line is not the official rate.

What they said
Entrepreneurship destroyed
Prayagraj rally · 8 August 2026, 8 Aug 2026
What is actually true
New company and LLP registrations continued. Destruction is not an official outcome.
DPIIT and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs continue to publish new company and LLP registrations. Those filings are entrepreneurship in the official legal sense.
Destruction would mean the registration series stopped. It did not.
Closures and stress in some firms are compatible with a living registration series. They are not an official verdict of “destroyed”.
A verdict word is used where the series still exists.

PSU jobs fell from around 14 lakh to 7 lakh.
A drop is asserted without the named PSU employment table.

What they said
PSU jobs 14 lakh → 7 lakh
Prayagraj rally · 8 August 2026, 8 Aug 2026
What is actually true
Public-enterprise employment has changed with disinvestment and classification. The two endpoints need the same official series and the same unit. The sentence gives neither.
Public-enterprise employment changes with disinvestment, casual-versus-regular mix and which firms are counted as CPSEs.
A drop from “around 14 lakh” to “7 lakh” needs one official table, one definition of PSU, and two dated observations. The sentence gives none of those.
PIB and MOSPI material on CPSEs do not, in this file, supply those two endpoints as a single checked series.
A drop is asserted without the named PSU employment table.

Public schools, hospitals, BSNL, ports and airports have been privatised.
Some asset cases are not a blanket privatisation of public services.

What they said
Schools, hospitals, BSNL, ports and airports privatised
Prayagraj rally · 8 August 2026, 8 Aug 2026
What is actually true
Most public schools and hospitals were not privatised. Listing five systems as already sold is false.
Government and aided schools remain the large majority of school enrolment in UDISE+ and Ministry of Education data. They were not privatised as a system.
Public hospitals under state and Union health departments still operate. They were not sold as a bloc.
BSNL remains a public-sector telecom company. Listing it as already privatised is false.
Some ports and airports have seen private operation or PPP. That is not the same official fact as “ports and airports have been privatised” as a completed national sale, and it does not carry schools and hospitals with them.
A global talking point is stated as a fact about India.

Indian youth spend 8 hours a day watching Reels.

What they said
8 hours a day on Reels
Prayagraj rally · 8 August 2026, 8 Aug 2026
What is actually true
Time Use Survey does not record eight hours a day of Reels for Indian youth.
The Time Use Survey records minutes in a day across employment, unpaid work, learning, social life and leisure — including screen and media time in published categories.
It does not publish “8 hours a day watching Reels” as the average for Indian youth.
Platform companies’ own product names are not MOSPI categories.
A mechanism is asserted without an official series.

What they said
An RSS pracharak in every institution
Prayagraj rally · 8 August 2026, 8 Aug 2026
What is actually true
No official establishment list supports “every institution”.
No official establishment list, payroll or ministry directory supports “an RSS pracharak in every institution”.
Staffing of public institutions is published, where it is published, as sanctioned posts and incumbents — not as a political-cadre census of every institution.
