An X (previously Twitter) user tweeted a video of senior BJP leader Ashwini Choubey, claiming that he burst into tears at a news conference after being refused a Lok Sabha seat from Buxar, Bihar. During its research, the PTI Fact Check discovered that an old and unconnected video of Choubey was circulated on social media as fresh, with an incorrect claim.
