A video is being shared on social media claiming it as the visuals of Jyotiraditya Scindia’s latest comments expressing his disappointment over the ruling BJP government in India. This post claims that Jyotiraditya had changed his mind after Bharat Jodo Yatra and returned to the Congress party leaving BJP. Let’s verify the claim made in the post.
Claim: Recent video showing Jyotiraditya Scindia’s latest comments against the BJP after the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
Fact: The video shared in the post shows Jyotiraditya Scindia’s old speech at the 84 Congress Plenary Session 2018. Jyotiraditya Scindia made these comments before he left the Congress party and joined BJP. Jyotiraditya Scindia is currently serving as the Union Minister of Civil Aviation and Steel. Lately, Scindia did not make any statement against the BJP government, after the commencement of the Bharat Jodo Yatra. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
On observing the video carefully, at 1:56 minutes of the video, one could see the visuals of the Congress Party flag with the text, “भारतीय राष्ट्रीय कांग्रेस 84वां महाधिवेशन 2018” (In English: Indian National Congress 84th Plenary Session 2018), during Jyotiraditya’s speech.
When we searched for this video using keywords on the internet, a video with similar visuals was found published by the Indian National Congress YouTube channel on 19 March 2018. Congress Party published this video with the title, “Jyotiraditya Scindia Speech at the Congress Plenary Session 2018”. From 1:38 minutes of the video, we could see similar visuals as shown in the post. Jyotiraditya Scindia, during his speech at the 84 Congress Plenary Session, slammed the BJP government over their policies for farmers, failure in providing jobs for unemployed youth and other issues.
Jyotiraditya Scindia left Congress and joined BJP in March 2020. He is currently serving as the Union Minister of Civil Aviation and Steel. Lately, while speaking about the Congress’s ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’, Jyotiraditya Scindia reportedly said, “Congress need to join themselves before joining India”. Jyotiraditya Scindia did not make any comments against BJP after Bharat Jodo Yatra.
To sum it up, a 2018 video of Jyotiraditya Scindia’s speech at the 84 Congress Plenary Session is shared as his latest comments against BJP after Bharat Jodo Yatra.
