Yogi Adityanath video Yogi Adityanath's team claims viral video of UP CM abusing on camera as 'fake'
Lucknow/IBNS: Yogi Adityanath's media adviser on Monday shared a "fact check" on Twitter to claim a widely viral video of the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister using a swear word against a news agency camera person as fake.
In the video, Adityanath could be initially heard lauding the efforts of the Centre, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the scientists in developing vaccines against coronavirus and then suddenly using a cuss world against the ANI's cameraperson.
Soon after the ANI video became widely viral, Adityanath's media adviser Shalabh Mani Tripathi retweeted a 'fact check' report by a website called "Breaking Tube" that claimed the last three seconds of the clip, when the Chief Minister appears to blurt out the abuse, was doctored.
https://t.co/xSAgecGCis. This is shocking if true. Conspiracy against @myogiadityanath ? Guilty must be brought to book. This is fixing of an entirely different level.

He said the video was edited and that part of the audio was fake and inserted later.
Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav took a swipe at the UP Chief Minister over the video.
He tweeted a verse in Hindi, loosely translated as: "Please hear the sweet words from 'manyavar' to journalists. But use headphones and get away from children." He did not share the video, though.
ANI has tweeted a fresh five-minute bite of Adityanath and said in the tweet - "Editors note: Earlier issued Live Sound byte is retracted".
