Claim
Tejashwi Yadav has also gone to Europe.
“वैसे तेजस्वी यादव भी यूरोप चले गए हैं”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Tejashwi Yadav did take a well-documented family holiday to Europe, but in December 2025–January 2026, after the Bihar election defeat; he returned to India in early January 2026. As of the 2 July 2026 broadcast there is no report of a fresh Europe trip, and he held a press conference in Patna on 28 June 2026 and was making political statements in Bihar in late June. The present-perfect phrasing 'भी यूरोप चले गए हैं' presents a concluded six-month-old trip as if he is currently away, which misrepresents the situation at the time of broadcast; confidence is moderate because a very recent unreported departure between 28 June and 2 July cannot be fully excluded.
