Claim: UP MLA Mukesh Verma recently quit BJP and claimed that 20 MLAs are willing to resign from BJP and join the Samajwadi Party.
Fact-check: Old video reporting UP MLA Mukesh Verma's resignation from BJP ahead of 2022 UP Elections shared as recent - FACTLY
Verdict: the video shared in the post shows a news report telecast by 'tv9 bharatvarsh' in january 2022. ahead of the 2022 uttar pradesh elections, shikohabad mla mukesh verma resigned from bjp and joined the samajwadi party in january 2022. accusing the yogi adityanath-led bjp government of neglecting backward classes, minority communities and farmers, mukesh verma quit bjp and claimed that 20 other mlas are also going to resign from bjp and join sp along with swami prasad mourya. the video does not show a recent news report. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
