Piyush is followed by railway minister Piyush Goyal and BJP Delhi spokesperson Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga, and his video received over 27,000 views and nearly 3,000 retweets (archive<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The video was also viral on Facebook<\/a>, with several individual users posting it with the identical claim.<\/p>\n

Not a gun, but a mike<\/h2>\n

Several people commented on Piyush’s tweet that the TMC leader had picked up a mike and not pulled out a gun. A careful analysis of the video revealed that this was indeed true. The live debate was organised by Zee News<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>in West Bengal’s Cooch Behar. The TMC leader who lost his cool and picked up a mike was state minister Rabindra Nath Ghosh. The slow-motion video posted below clearly shows that the object in the hand of the TMC leader is a mike.<\/p>\n
