Key Points
An old video of Home Minister Amit Shah claiming that the Bharatiya Janata Party freed the people of Uttar Pradesh from former gangster-turned-legislator Mukhtar Ansari is being shared on social media, wrongly portrayed as a recent speech after Ansaris death..
BOOM found that the viral video is from a public rally held by Shah in Kasganj, Uttar Pradesh in April 2019 before the Assembly elections that year...
Ansari, 63, died on 28 March 2024, due to cardiac arrest after he fainted in his cell in Banda jail in Uttar Pradesh..
BOOM found that the video of Shah saying that the BJP has given the people freedom from Ansari is from April 2019, and not a recent speech..
In the first eight seconds video, we can see the date in the corner 10.09.19 and Kasganj, Uttar Pradesh written on the top left corner.. Taking a hint from this, we ran a keyword search on YouTube and found the original speech uploaded on BJPs official handle on 10 April 2019..
