Claim: Videos show UP Energy Minister Shrikant Sharma being attacked and chased away by the people.
Fact-check: Unrelated videos are being falsely shared as people attacking UP Energy Minister Shrikant Sharma - FACTLY
Verdict: both the videos are neither related to up energy minister shrikant sharma nor uttar pradesh. the first video was taken in april 2021, in the context of the bengal assembly elections, when bjp candidate anirban ganguly's vehicle was attacked. the second video shows a recent attack on former jharkhand bjp president ravindra rai in bokaro by protesters, who are agitating against the exclusion of bhojpuri and magahi from the regional language list of the state's newly made recruitment policy. also, there are no news reports about any recent attack on minister shrikant sharma. hence the claim made in the post is false.
