Controversy: Is Congress using Taiwan tea garden photos?

Two photos of Assam tea garden have kicked up a storm ahead of Assam assembly election 2021 as state minister and BJP leader Himanta Biswa Sarna accused the Congress of using Taiwan photos on the Facebook page of the party's election campaign, called 'Assam Bachao (Save Assam). In the screenshot, he juxtaposed the screenshot of the Facebook page and a Fotosearch result showing that the purported photo was of tea pickers working in the Nantou Tea Garden, Taiwan.These posts are now not available on Assam Bachao Facebook page.The Congress, according to reports, said these claims are fake and a complaint will be lodged with the Election Commission of India.

Official Congress campaign page is using photo of tea garden from Taiwan to say "Assam Bachao".

Congress leaders can't even recognise Assam?
