“The video shows school students chanting “BJP Zindabad” from a school bus at a TMC rally in Siliguri, West Bengal, against the 2025 “vote chori” issue.”
What FACTLY found
The video shows school students chanting “BJP Zindabad” from a school bus during a Trinamool Congress rally on 21 November 2022, on Hillcart Road in Siliguri, West Bengal. The rally was held demanding action on the cases against two BJP MPs and protesting the BJP’s alleged divisive agenda in Bengal. The footage predates the 2025 ‘vote chori’ issue and is unrelated to it.
