Did Prime Minister Modi announce his retirement from politics? Know the truth behind the virus graphics

Graphics with the English news channel logo are becoming popular online on social media and claiming that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced his retirement from his position. The graphics have been shared by multiple X users. The graphics reference PM Modi, “September 16, 2025 will be the last day I’m at work (SIC). It further stated: “The announcement came two days after meeting with RSS on Sunday”. View the post here and here. But has Prime Minister Modi really announced his retirement from politics? Before answering this question, please check out the screenshot of the following virus graphics:

Fact check

The virus graphics are fake. When PTI contacts the English channel where the logo exists on the graph, it denies creating any such posts. Furthermore, there are no other well-known news reports about PM Modi’s claim that he announced his political retirement before he was 75 years old. The DNA team also ran the graphics through Google Lens and found that multiple users had already shared the graphics with similar claims. However, we can’t find any reliable news reports that talk about Modi’s retirement from politics. However, we did find a report The Indian era Retirement debate about PM Modi.

In the report, Maharashtra BJP President Chandrashekhar Bawankule dismissed recent remarks by UBT MP Sanjay Raut, which will retire PM Modi. Check it out here. Bawankule also shared an article on X that read: “There is no rule or any decision that the respected Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji should leave politics after the age of 75. It is not stated in any formal BJP policy.”
