In doing so, he circulated a fake letter that was viral on WhatsApp and Facebook. Moreover, Tejashwi Yadav tweeted with the text &#8216;authenticity you verify&#8217; when he as a senior leader of a party has all the means to verify this information before putting it out on social media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tejashwi Yadav, former Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar and son of RJD chief Lalu Prasad put out this letter on the evening of December 17, purportedly written by the Deputy Election Commissioner in Gandhinagar.
