Old Video of Man Alleging Vote Mismatch in Varanasi Falsely Linked to 2024 Polls

Users sharing the video are claiming that this video was recorded after he lost the Coimbatore constituency in the Lok Sabha elections.

The claim states, "He worked 24x7 for 3 years. He reached to every part of Tamil Nadu. BJP vote share is now 19% in Tamil Nadu & when he took charge it was just 8%. Tears in his eyes means a lot. But he will come back. Annamalai is the future of Tamil Nadu. I love him & will always support him." (sic)

What's the truth?: This video is not recent and predates the elections results on 4 June.

This video dates back to April 2024, when Annamalai became emotional during a speech in Kasturi Naickenpalayam, Coimbatore.
