In the video, when a news reporter question Koli, she was apparently unable to reply on the development she would like to bring in her constituency after winning the elections. The Actor-turned-politician took a dig at the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) for fielding candidates like her who have no knowledge of issues. He wrote in his Twitter handle: "With her extraordinary understanding of the issues and her visionary solutions will not only uplift the country but with her wisdom will also elect the chowkidar of India."

Raj however incorrectly attributed the woman in the video to be the BJP candidate from Badaun, Uttar Pradesh. However, according to the party it has fielded Sanghamitra Maurya from Badaun Parliamentary constituency. The woman in the video is Ranjeeta Koli, whom the BJP is fielding from Bharatpur parliamentary constituency. Rajasthan goes to polls in two phases on April 29 and May 6. The counting of votes will take place on May 23.
