Original review summary

The video shows students chanting “BJP Zindabad” at a TMC rally in Siliguri, but the footage is from 21 November 2022 and is unrelated to the 2025 “vote chori” issue. FACTLY says an extended version was posted by RNF News Rajganj on that date, confirming the footage predates the issue.[S1]

Additional context

The 2022 rally took place on Hillcart Road in Siliguri. It protested the BJP’s alleged divisive agenda and called for action in cases involving two BJP MPs. [S1]
