Fact Check-

We started our investigation by running a keyword search on Google to find news reports related to  the announcement of dates of the assembly elections to be held in Assam and other states. We could not find any relevant results for the same.

We came across an article published by the Times of India on 2nd March 2011 ,which stated that Assam goes to the polls on April 4th and 11th and that the state was under the model of conduct with immediate effect. This confirms that the published dates are old.

Next, we searched on the Election Commission’s website for any press release, press conference or announcement for the same. We could not find any results that would verify the veracity of the viral claim.
Fact Crescendo contacted the spoke person of the Election Commission of India, Sheyphali Sharan who confirmed that the viral news is Fake. She said, “No announcement regarding the state assembly election has been made yet.” 

We also came across a clarification issued by PIB Fact Check on 12th February 2021 which stated that “This claim is #Fake. No such announcement has been made by the Election Commission.”
