Original review summary

The footage is from the Uttar Pradesh Assembly on 21 October 1997, during a trust vote faced by the BJP government led by Kalyan Singh—not from 16 December 1993. The review says Mulayam Singh Yadav was not Chief Minister at the time of the footage and was serving as Union Defence Minister.[S1]
