False Claims Debunked: Chouhan's Real Target

A viral video falsely claims Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan criticized the Madhya Pradesh government. Fact-checking reveals he was addressing the JMM-Congress government in Jharkhand, criticizing it for corruption and paper leaks. The video was edited, and claims have been debunked.

A video misrepresenting Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has been circulating on social media. Users alleged that it showed him criticizing Madhya Pradesh's government led by Mohan Yadav over issues like paper leaks and unemployment.

However, a detailed investigation by the PTI Fact Check Desk revealed that a selected clip from Chouhan's speech was being used maliciously. The original video, posted on Chouhan's official account, reveals his true target was the JMM-Congress government in Jharkhand, which he accused of corrupt practices and mismanagement.

In the post, Chouhan condemned Jharkhand's governance for ruining children's futures and perpetuating corruption. BJP media official Ashish Agarwal confirmed the video's edits, clarifying that there was no criticism directed at Madhya Pradesh's government.
