Tejashwi Yadav is an Indian politician and the Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar, representing the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). Born on November 9, 1989, in Gopalganj, Bihar, he is the son of prominent politician Lalu Prasad Yadav and has been an influential figure in Bihar politics, focusing on issues such as social justice, economic development, and youth empowerment. Known for his vocal presence in the political landscape, Yadav has played a key role in advocating for his party’s policies and initiatives.

In November 2020, BOOM debunked a claim that a photo circulating online showed Yadav marching in support of Gulnaz Khatun.

BOOM's investigation revealed that the photo was actually taken in December 2018, when Yadav was protesting the murder of a businessman.

In June 2024, BOOM fact-checked a viral video that purportedly showed Yadav speaking to reporters while allegedly under the influence of being intoxicated.

BOOM’s investigation revealed that the clip was a slowed-down version of the original video, which created the illusion of slurred speech.
