In the video tweeted by Indian Youth Congress president Srinivas BV, Nirahua can be heard claiming Modi and Yogi stopped unemployment because they did not give birth to a child.

Nirahua, a Bhojpuri actor, accused Srinivas of peddling a fake video saying that the lips are not in sync with the spoken words.
