What FACTLY found

This is an edited video. The playback speed of this video has been reduced to make it look as if Tejashwi Yadav was addressing the media in a drunken state. The original report of Tejaswi’s interaction with the media uploaded by several mainstream media organisations has visuals of him speaking normally, contrary to how he was seen in the viral video
