Lalan Singh Claims Misleading RJD Clip After FIR Over Election Remarks
A politician named Lalan Singh is in trouble because of a video shown during an election campaign.
Someone else shared a short part of the video that made it look like he was telling people to do something wrong on election day.
Lalan Singh says that short part doesn't tell the whole story.
He claims he was actually telling people to protect voters from someone who was threatening them.
He says the full video will show he was right, and that the other party is trying to trick people.
Because of this, the police filed a case against him, and an election watchdog also asked him to explain.
Union Minister Lalan Singh faces an FIR and ECI notice over a viral video clip from his election campaign in Mokama.
Lalan Singh claims the shared clip is selective and misleading, taken out of context.
He alleges an RJD leader was intimidating voters, and his remarks were meant to counter this.
The RJD posted a clip showing Lalan Singh making remarks about controlling voters on election day.
Lalan Singh has demanded the RJD release the full footage and apologize if their version is found to be misleading.
