“Press release of the Bahujan Samaj Party asking the voters of Pratappur to vote for any strong opponent of Samajwadi Party other than their own candidate”
What FACTLY found
This is a dubious press release circulating in the name of BSP. It is a very unlikely that a national party releases such a press note asking voters to vote for another party despite fielding their own candidate. Further, the viral letter wrongly mentions the date of 5th phase election, which is again highly unlikely from a national party. Further, the BSP issued a press note clarifying that the viral letter is fake
