A clip of Manoj Tiwari talking about his unsuccessful 2009 contest has been misinterpreted to claim he has purportedly accepted defeat against his Congress opponent in the ongoing polls.
A viral video featuring BJP MP and actor Manoj Tiwari is circulating on social media claiming that the leader has already conceded defeat against the Congress candidate even as his constituency is yet to vote.
The video features a Hindi text overlay that translates to: "Manoj Tiwari has accepted defeat."
In the 11-second clip, Mr Tiwari, speaking to a journalist in a moving car, says, "Look, I was aware of my defeat, but the sad thing was that I had been winning for a long time, and then I felt like I was about to lose (translated from Hindi)."
