Kunal Kamra, the political propagandist who claims to be a comedian, had recently shared a video in which AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal was seen venting his spleen against PM Modi and the BJP. The video talked less about what Arvind Kejriwal has done for Delhi so far and about the achievements(If any) of his government and more about how Modi and Shah need to be removed from the power.
In the video, Kejriwal appears in his usual hateful self as he likens PM Modi and Amit Shah to a cancerous tumour that needs to be eradicated in order to save the country. When asked if not Modi then who, Rahul Gandhi?, Kejriwal responds, “I heard an analogy. When you are diagnosed with a tumour, you don’t say if not tumour, then who. Modi and Shah need to be removed. We’ll then see who becomes the PM then.”

Kunal Kamra, in his video, has allegedly used snippets of old videos to drive home the points postulated by Kejriwal in the interview. Kejriwal said that the BJP has normalised mob lynching and Muslims were the primary targets for such lumpen elements. Kamra adds a factually incorrect snippet from the Quint claiming how only Muslims have been victims of cattle-related violent incidents in the country. However, he conveniently ignores the Hindu victims who were attacked and lynched for opposing cattle-smuggling.
Popular Twitter user Ankur Singh, in a series of Tweets, has pointed out that, in his interview with Kejriwal, Kamra has shared old videos from before 2014, when the Congress party was in power, to convey that the mob violence was supposedly unleashed by PM Modi and the BJP to cast them in the bad light.
Kunal Kamra did a propaganda interview to promote Kejriwal and for it used videos from Congress rule (before 2014) to show mob lynching under Modi govt.

Ankur has also shared another instance where, to show that the Gau Rakshaks have been empowered under the Modi government and that they enjoy state patronage, Kunal has shared a clip which was already uploaded in 2013 to show that Modi government has let loose the cow vigilantes across the country.
Here’s another clip used by propaganda peddler @kunalkamra88 to show gau raksha violence under Modi govt.
One user uploaded it in 2013, maybe older. pic.twitter.com/a9cQAJWWkv

Kamra shared another clip that was uploaded in 2013 alleging that Gau Rakshaks have been empowered under Modi government to fuel anarchy and indulge in arson and vandalism.
Next clip used by @KunalKamra88 to show Gau Rakshaks under Modi rule became violent and creating anarchy by burning vehicles was uploaded in 2013.

By using videos from before 2014, when PM Modi was not in power, Kamra lies about the situation in the country to continue peddling propaganda against the Modi government. Recently, BSE had filed a formal complaint against Kamra for unauthorised modification and misuse of their brand. He had uploaded a morphed image of BSE building with the ticker reading ‘Do not vote for Modi’.
