Fake video of Pappu Yadav from a Ram Navami procession in April 2025 is circulated online, claiming it was shot after the Purnia Airport's inauguration instead.
In the past few days, a video of Pappu Yadav, the Member of Parliament from Purnia, has been circulating on social media platforms, purportedly showing him in saffron, chanting praises of Lord Rama after meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Purnia Airport inauguration on September 15, 2025. However, a thorough investigation reveals that this claim is false.
The video, in fact, is from the Ram Navami Shobha Yatra held on April 6, 2025, in Purnia. A signboard reading 'Shri Ram Navami Shobha Yatra' is clearly visible in the background of the video posted by Pappu Yadav on April 7, 2025, with the hashtag 'Ram Navami'.
On April 7, 2025, Pappu Yadav posted another video from the same location, confirming the authenticity of the Ram Navami Shobha Yatra visuals. According to a report by Bharat TV 24, Pappu Yadav joined the Shobha Yatra held on the occasion of Ram Navami on April 6, 2025. He participated in processions and addressed people at multiple locations during the event.
The video does not depict any interaction between Pappu Yadav and PM Narendra Modi at the Purnia Airport inauguration. On September 15, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the new terminal building of Purnia Airport in Bihar. However, no credible media reports of a religious procession involving Pappu Yadav after September 15, 2025, were found during the verification process.
A reverse image search of key frames from the viral video led us to an Instagram post by Pappu Yadav dated 07 April 2025, confirming that the video predates the Purnia Airport inauguration in Bihar on 15 September 2025.
It is important to verify the authenticity of information before sharing it on social media platforms. The video posted by Pappu Yadav on April 7, 2025, also features him giving a speech, and a news video published on the YouTube channel of Bharat TV 24 on April 8, 2025, features the same viral visuals.
In conclusion, the claim that the video shows Pappu Yadav in saffron, chanting praises of Lord Rama, after meeting PM Narendra Modi at the Purnia Airport inauguration on September 15, 2025, is false. The video is from the Ram Navami Shobha Yatra held on April 6, 2025, in Purnia, where Pappu Yadav participated in processions and addressed the crowd.
