Truth
No the claims made in the viral video are not true.
With the help of keyframes in this video, we ran a reverse image search. This search led us to the official youtube channel of Narendra Modi.
As per the time stamp on this video, this event was live-streamed on this channel on 28th September 2015.
The viral video is cut from 1:55:50 hrs.
In this event, PM Narendra Modi arrived to address the Indian American community at the SAP Center in California. We also found a Business Standard article from 29th September 2015.
The article stated that According to the report, this was the second day of Narendra Modi’s trip to the West Coast. The report read, “The only ‘news’ amongst all this was that now Air India flights will fly direct flights from New Delhi to San Francisco thrice a week. Modi made this announcement at the end of an hour-long speech.”
Therefore there was no mention of PM Narendra Modi being appointed as the President of 153 nations. This sounds like a very strange claim. There is no such post in which a head of state can be made the president of hundreds of countries.
