This alleged viral video of an RJD MLA giving an interview from flood-affected areas in Bihar is scripted
A video showing a reporter interviewing a man in a waterlogged area, which later turned out to be a small open tank, is going viral on social media (here, here, and here). In the video, the man is heard saying, “Is it looking like an original flooded area? This should be shown on TV for the whole day,” before stepping out of the tank. The clip is being shared with the claim that it shows an RJD (Rashtriya Janata Dal) MLA from flood-affected Bihar risking his life to save people. Let’s verify the truth behind the video in this article.
Claim: Video of an RJD MLA giving an interview from flood-affected areas in Bihar.
Fact: The viral video does not show a real incident. It is a scripted video created by a video creator, Dalal Comedian, and uploaded on his Instagram handle on 29 July 2025. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
