There are multiple other users who have tweeted the video, taunting CM-designate Bhagwant Mann. It is noteworthy that the BJP and its supporters often target the AAP for its liquor policy in Delhi.

While we were unable to find details about the video, it is unrelated to AAP’s victory in Punjab and was shot five years before it came to power in the state.
