Bihar Politics: Viral Video Fact-Checked

A viral video depicting Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav sparked claims of a changing political scenario in Bihar. However, a PTI Fact Check revealed the video is from 2022, and was shared with misleading context. The video was erroneously linked to a recent meeting involving Tejashwi Yadav.
