New Delhi (Vishvas News). A video clip of Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma is going viral, showing him allegedly speaking against his own party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). In the clip, he can be heard saying that the BJP asks for votes based on slogans.
Many users are sharing this clip on social media, believing it to be true. However, a detailed investigation by Vishvas News revealed that the viral clip is edited and a part of the Chief Minister’s speech has been selectively edited, changing its meaning. In the original speech, the CM was referring to the opposition’s claim that the BJP seeks votes based on slogans.

Investigation
To verify the viral clip of Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, several keyframes were extracted and reverse-searched using Google Lens. This led us to the original video uploaded on the YouTube channel named ‘Bishnoi Media’ on February 21, 2024. After the 10th minute, he can be heard saying, “Opposition people used to say that Article 370 cannot be removed. Rivers of blood will flow. This is the slogan of the Bharatiya Janata Party. They ask for votes on the basis of slogans. We said that what we say is not a slogan.”
The caption in the video stated that Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma attended the Sri Alam Naklang Temple Prana Pratishtha Mahotsav, which took place on February 21, 2024.
Our investigation further revealed that the three-day Prana-Pratishtha Mahotsav of the newly constructed ancient Naklang Alamji Maharaj temple, located at Alpura Dhora of Gudamalani, Barmer district, began on February 20.
Speaking to Vishvas News, Dainik Jagran’s Rajasthan Bureau Chief Narendra Sharma confirmed that the viral clip is fake. He explained that the CM’s speech was a response to the opposition’s allegations. The viral post is fake and the account was created in September 2014.
Conclusion: Vishvas News’ investigation revealed that an excerpt from an old speech by Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma was selectively edited and circulated with a false claim. Our investigation revealed that the viral post is misleading.
