Miscreants throw ink on Farmer leader Rakesh Tikait during press meet in Bengaluru
Bengaluru: A group of miscreants on Monday barged into the press meet that was being addressed by farmer leader Rakesh Tikait and threw ink on him in Bengaluru here.
Tikait, a leader of Bharatiya Kisan Union, was addressing the media when a group of people approached him and threw ink. What followed was chaos at the venue with visuals showing chairs being flung around.
Following the ink attack, Mr Tikait accused the state BJP government of not providing security at the venue. "No security was provided by local police here. This has been done in collusion with the government," he said, according to news agency ANI.

BJP's poll campaign video targeting AAP shows roads from BJP-ruled Haryana: Alt News
New Delhi: With the announcement of Delhi Assembly elections, political campaigns are gaining momentum. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) recently shared a video on social media showing poorly maintained roads, claiming they were from Delhi under Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) governance. However, a fact-check by Alt News revealed that the footage was filmed in Faridabad, Haryana, a state governed by the BJP.
The video, shared on BJP’s official social media accounts, featured a caption mocking AAP's infrastructure development, stating, “It is hard to tell whether there are potholes in the road or the road is in the potholes.” Prominent BJP supporters, including Raushan Sinha, also amplified the video, criticising Delhi’s infrastructure under AAP.
Alt News identified a key detail in the video – a signboard reading "Thakur Udaypal Dharamshala." Using Google Maps, they traced the location to Faridabad. A close comparison of the video footage and Google Street View images confirmed the location, with visible matching landmarks such as houses and specific road details.
While the BJP claimed the video depicted Delhi’s roads, Alt News established that it actually highlighted road conditions in Faridabad. This revelation questions the authenticity of the BJP’s claims against AAP’s governance.
