JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar resigned on August 9, 2022, as the chief minister of Bihar, and walked out of the NDA alliance with BJP. He later re-joined the grand alliance and took oath as the chief minister on August 10, 2022.
In the above context, a video is widely shared on social media, showing few people abusing Nitish Kumar for allying with RJD. The video is shared with a caption: “एक दम नया है मार्किट में नितीश कुमार पर। मौज कर दी छोरा नै कती सुपर से भी ऊपर.” (English translation: “It is new in the market on Nitish Kumar. The youth entertained at next level.”)

FACT CHECK
NewsMobile did the fact check, and found it to be fake.
On searching Google with appropriate keywords, we found the same video uploaded by a YouTube channel on May 2, 2020, with a caption: “Migrant workers threatening government on the extension of lockdown. Demand safe return to their home.”
This is the full-length video in which the labourers ask Nitish Kumar to arrange their return to their home state as they are stuck in Tamil Nadu and don’t have even food to eat. Abusing Nitish Kumar, the labourers have also warned him that they won’t vote for him ever again as they are not getting any profit out of it.
The same video was uploaded by another YouTube channel on May 9, 2020, with a caption: “These Bihari migrants are abusing CM Nitish Kumar, because they get stuck in Tamil Nadu in this Covid-19 pandemic. They need help from the Bihar government but no one responded, so they decided to make a clip abusing Nitish Kumar with their conversations as a song to a video of kutte ka achar song ft. MC Jagdish Bhagat by MEMES TV HINDI. They are saying to Nitish Kumar Hum Log Tamil Nadu me Fase Hue Hai, they need to go their home.”
Neither we were able to verify the origin of the video, nor could identify the people in it. So, we can surely ascertain that the viral video is quite old and not associated with the recent JD(U)-RJD alliance.
