Overview
- The Quint debunked a viral newspaper clipping that alleged Congress vowed to legalize beef in its Bihar election platform.
- Congress has not released a separate Bihar manifesto, participating in the Mahagathbandhan’s joint document.
- The alliance’s 2025 Sankalp Patra contains no pledge or reference to legalizing beef.
- The clipping aligns with Congress’s 2024 ‘Nyay Patra’ materials, including a poster dated 5 April 2024.
- The 2024 ‘Nyay Patra’ makes no such promise, and keyword searches turned up no credible corroboration.
