Did Rajasthan CM perform Acrobatics with the sword?
A video is going viral on social media, while sharing the video users are claiming that Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal performed with a sword.
Claim made by the user
An X user named Dilip Kumar Singh shared the video and wrote “Our Bhajanlal ji is also no less… Swordsman Chief Minister in Madhya Pradesh Swordsman Chief Minister in Rajasthan Now the salwar seller is not well”
(Translated into English)
Another user also shared the video while making a similar claim
Fact Check
To investigate the truth about the viral video, the DFRAC team converted the video into some keyframes and reverse-searched it on Google. We found the same video uploaded on the X handle of Deputy Chief Minister Jagdish Devda on 29 August 2022 where he wrote “At the Baba Ramdev Ji Fair in Malhargarh.”
Moreover, we also found some media reports from NDTV and Times Now which stated, that “ MP Finance Minister Jagdish Devda performs acrobatic moves with a sword”.
Conclusion
Therefore, it is clear from the DFRAC’s fact check that the claim made by the user is misleading as the video is from August 2022 of Madhya Pradesh’s Deputy Chief Minister Jagdish Devda, not Rajasthan’s CM Bhajan Lal.
