The truth about the viral photo, which had a woman politician watering a plant in rain, has come out.
The politician in the photo is not Alka Lambha as was alleged. The honour goes to Pravina Thakur , first woman Mayor of Virar in Mumbai.
ABP News informs that Pravina Thakur was taking part at an event held as part of Maharashtra government's effort to plant two lakh saplings.
Though it started raining during the event, Pravina Thakur stuck to the script and went on to pour water on a lucky plant, much to the delight of the shutterbugs.
The photo went viral, as many mostly those opposed to AAP, started sharing it, saying it was MLA Alka Lamba in it.
Pravina Thakur is the wife of Virar strongman Hitendra Thakur, the president of Bahujan Vikas Aaghadi. His party swept the Vasai Virar Municipal Corporation polls by winning 106 seats.
