“The video shows Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Gorakhpur MP Ravi Kishan participating in a public march protesting the new UGC regulations.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video does not show a protest against the UGC regulations. It actually depicts a GST awareness drive in Gorakhpur on 22 September 2025, where CM Yogi Adityanath and MP Ravi Kishan interacted with traders to promote the new GST reforms. MP Ravi Kishan also shared visuals from the event on his official Instagram.
