Altered video featuring BJP MP Kangana Ranaut, seemingly airing criticism towards the Election Commission regarding the 'vote fraud' scandal, has been circulating.
Article Title: Clarification on Allegations Regarding BJP MP Kangana Ranaut and the Election Commission
In the past few days, a video of BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has been circulating on social media, allegedly showing her criticizing the Election Commission over the "vote chori" controversy. However, a closer look at the video reveals that it has been selectively edited to create a false impression.
The original video, which can be traced back to an interview on August 17, 2025, shows Kangana Ranaut criticizing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, not the Election Commission. The viral clip was edited to remove the line, "How much reprimand has been given to Rahul Gandhi," thus giving the false impression that she was criticizing the Election Commission.
In the original video, Kangana Ranaut can be heard accusing Rahul Gandhi of creating a spectacle in Parliament and alleging that he had shattered the respect of voters in their society. The voters whose names were mentioned in the video are depicted as expressing their grief in large numbers.
It is important to note that on 07 August 2025, Rahul Gandhi held a press conference, accusing the Election Commission of manipulating the voter list and calling it "vote chori." On 17 August 2025, the Election Commission of India held a press conference and rejected Rahul Gandhi's "vote chori" allegations, dismissing claims of any irregularities in the special intensive revision exercise in poll-bound Bihar.
Since then, the opposition has rallied together, criticising both the Election Commission and the BJP government. However, it is crucial to verify the authenticity of such videos before sharing them, to avoid spreading misinformation.
A reverse image search of keyframes from the viral video led to multiple media reports on 18 August 2025 featuring the same video. However, none of these reports mentioned that Kangana Ranaut criticized the Election Commission over the vote chori controversy.
In conclusion, the claim that the video shows BJP MP Kangana Ranaut criticizing the Election Commission over the "vote chori" controversy is FALSE. It is essential to promote fact-checking and responsible sharing of information to maintain the integrity of public discourse.
