1. BJP Delhi Shares Altered Video of Saurabh Bharadwaj to Claim Siri ‘Backfired’

Social media users, including the official account of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for Delhi have shared a video of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Saurabh Bhardwaj.

What does the video show?: The clip allegedly shows Bhardwaj asking Apple’s digital voice assistant Siri, about who said ‘don’t vote for me if I don’t clean up Yamuna River’.

  • In the video, Siri’s reply can be heard saying, “The term ‘we’ll clean up the Yamuna river in the next five years’ was used by Kejriwal in 2015. (sic)”

This claim comes against the backdrop of the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections, which are set to take place on 5 February.

However, this is an altered video. The original clip shows Bharadwaj asking Siri a question about the word ‘guarantee’ and not the Yamuna river.
