“The video shows U.P. CM Yogi Adityanath openly buying votes by distributing money in Bihar for the 2025 Assembly elections.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video is old and unrelated to the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. The visuals date back to 2012, when Yogi Adityanath was handing over monetary support to farmers whose crops were damaged in a fire during his tenure as the MP from Gorakhpur. There are no recent reports of him handing over cash to voters in Bihar.
