“Hotel Mehr in Kerala used an image of Baby Krishna to promote non-vegetarian food.”
The core claim is substantiated by multiple credible news sources. A Kerala restaurant widely identified as "Mehr Mandi & Grills" (colloquially shortened to "Hotel Mehr" in the claim) did circulate a Vishu promotional poster depicting baby Krishna alongside a non-vegetarian kuzhi manthi dish, leading to arrests and a public apology. The restaurant's exact name is slightly simplified in the claim, and the establishment attributed the poster to an outsourced designer's error — but the promotional material was nonetheless publicly circulated under the restaurant's name.
“V. D. Satheesan stated that if he becomes Chief Minister, he will first wipe out Hindu extremists.”
Available evidence indicates this is a fabricated attribution, not a verified Satheesan statement. Credible reporting found no record of him saying he would “first wipe out Hindu extremists” if he became Chief Minister, and a published clarification specifically denied the quote as social-media misinformation. His documented remarks criticize Hindutva/BJP-RSS politics, but that does not authenticate this specific wording or promise.
