Fact Check- 

We started our keyword search on YouTube led us to the original video on BJP’s official YouTube channel posted on 12 February 2022. Amit Shah who had addressed public meeting in Raipur, Uttarakhand. The video was streamed live on the YouTube channel.

We carefully heard the entire rally and we heard the viral part from 11:23- 11:31 minutes. Home Minister Amit Shah can be heard saying, “But friends, this Congress Party (crowd starts shouting Murdabad) can never develop the Devbhoomi.”

Below is a transcript of the speech that Amit Shah had given in Raipur.

“They (Congress) have not declared the name of the chief ministerial candidate and did not give him the ticket to contest from his place of choice. However, let it be! Since Rawat ji has a habit of losing. Congress knows this and they don’t have to practice anything new. But friends, this Congress party (pauses as public chant slogans) this Congress party will never develop the devbhoomi”

Upon hearing the video slowly, we found that the crowd raises slogan of “Murdabad” and not “Zindabad”. Thus the claim made along with the video is false even though the video is original.

In the longer video, it is very clear that Amit Shah is taking a dig at the Congress party because they have not declared the name of their chief ministerial candidate in Uttarakhand.
