“Video of BJP leader Jyotiraditya Scindia mistakenly asking people to vote for Congress in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly Elections (2022)”
What FACTLY found
The video is neither related to the current Assembly Elections (2022) nor Uttar Pradesh. The video shows Jyotiraditya Scindia’s slip of the tongue at a poll rally in Madhya Pradesh (in 2020). Assembly bypolls happened in Madhya Pradesh on 03 November 2020 as Scindia and a few other legislators switched over from Congress to BJP in March 2020
