Claim
The Samajwadi Party is responding that the BJP is rattled because it foresees defeat in the 2027 UP elections.
“समाजवादी पार्टी कह रही है कि बौखला गई है भारतीय जनता पार्टी। उसे 27 में हार दिख रही है इसलिए बौखला गए हैं उनके नेता।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
This is an accurate characterization of the Samajwadi Party's own stated position, not an independent factual assertion. SP spokesperson Sunil Singh Yadav explicitly said the BJP 'is rattled' (baukhlai hui hai) because the SP plans to wipe it out in 2027, and Akhilesh Yadav has repeatedly claimed BJP will lose the 2027 UP elections. The anchor accurately reports what the SP is saying; the truth of the underlying prediction (BJP actually losing 2027) is a future political outcome and not itself being asserted as fact.
