On October 30, national in-charge of social media for BJP Mahila Morcha Priti Gandhi shared<\/a> a part of an ABP News broadcast and wrote, “Especially for those who have been going ga-ga about the crowds at @yadavtejashwi’s rallies in Bihar!! That crowd is present there only for their entertainment…They are extremely clear that their vote is reserved only for PM @narendramodi!!”<\/p>\n

In the video, an ABP News reporter questions people whom they’ll vote for in the elections and several in the crowd can be heard saying “BJP”. Gandhi has shared the video against the backdrop of the ongoing Bihar assembly elections.<\/p>\n

Fact-check<\/h4>\n

A quick glance at the video itself establishes that it does not represent a recent event. For starters, nobody can be seen adorning masks. Moreover, a ticker on the screen reads, “Fastest result on May 23 only on ABP News. (23 \u092e\u0908 \u0915\u094b \u0938\u092c\u0938\u0947 \u0924\u0947\u095b \u0928\u0924\u0940\u091c\u0947 \u0938\u093f\u0930\u094d\u095e ABP \u0928\u094d\u092f\u0942\u095b \u092a\u0930.)”<\/p>\n

A keyword search on YouTube took us to the ABP News broadcast uploaded on May 9, 2019 ahead of Lok Sabha elections. The rally was held in Champaran district’s Kesariya. The part shared by Priti Gandhi can be watched 4:25 minutes<\/a> onward. In the later part of the broadcast<\/a>, people can also be heard stating that they will cast votes for Tejashwi Yadav and advice others to do the same.<\/p>\n
