      Old Video Of Amit Shah Falling From A Stage In MP Shared As Kolkata

      A viral clip showing Amit Shah, Minister of Home Affairs, falling off a stage in Madhya Pradesh is circulating on social media with a false claim that the incident took place at a rally held in West Bengal.

      The clip is viral in the backdrop of Shah's visit to Kolkata on February 18. On his two-day visit to Bengal, Amit Shah flagged off the final leg of the five phases of Rath Yatra. He also paid a visit to the Kapil Muni ashram and addressed the poribartan yatra at Kakdwip in South 24 Parganas.

      The viral video shows a public gathering where Amit Shah slips on a stage and people rush to pick him up.

      The caption of the video refers to the ongoing farmers' protest and takes a dig at the Bharatiya Janata Party after the protesting farmers and the Center reached a deadlock about meeting the former's demands. The caption reads, ''Amit Shah fell off the stage while running after seeing farmers in Kolkata rally.''
