Claim: Video showing people chasing away BJP candidates in Uttar Pradesh.
Fact-check: Old video from West Bengal is shared as people chasing away BJP candidates in Uttar Pradesh - FACTLY
Verdict: the viral visuals are actually related to the election related violence, which erupted during the 2021 general elections in west bengal's chuchura. as per news reports, clashes broke out between bjp and tmc workers on the election day when bjp's candidate locket chatterjee visited a polling booth. she was chased by local tmc workers. while there have been sporadic incidents of bjp leaders being chased away by the local residents, the viral video has nothing to do with uttar pradesh. hence the claim made in the post is false.
