2 verifications about Bharatiya Janata Party Bharatiya Janata Party ×
“V. D. Satheesan has publicly criticized the politics of the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.”
Multiple credible reports show V. D. Satheesan publicly criticizing BJP and RSS politics in speeches and public statements. The strongest evidence directly quotes him condemning BJP politics and linking it ideologically to the RSS. Allegations about his past attendance at RSS-linked events add context, but they do not negate the fact that he has publicly criticized them.
“After the Bharatiya Janata Party won the 2024 Indian general election, a video showed a dense crowd carrying bundles leaving West Bengal, India.”
The available evidence does not support that a real post–2024 election video showed a dense crowd “carrying bundles” leaving West Bengal after the BJP’s win. Multiple independent fact-checks instead trace the viral crowd footage used with this narrative to older, unrelated events—often from the 2021 West Bengal election period—or even to footage from outside India (e.g., Bangladesh). The claim relies on miscaptioned/recycled video rather than a verified post-election scene.
