“The video shows BJP leader Manoj Tiwari crying after the party lost the Bankipur Assembly bypoll in Bihar in 2026.”
What FACTLY found
The video does not show BJP leader Manoj Tiwari reacting to the BJP’s defeat in the 2026 Bankipur Assembly bypoll. It is from a January 2020 interview during the Delhi Assembly election campaign, where he became emotional while recalling his early struggles. The viral clip was edited from that interview, and there is no credible evidence that Tiwari reacted to Prashant Kishor’s victory.
Their words, from the summary they publish with the rating.
In short
This claim spread on social media around 5 August 2026. FACTLY (India) looked into it and published its finding on 7 August 2026, 2 days later. Its rating was “FALSE”.
