This video of people eating the food served on carton straps is from a meeting organised by TRS, not BJP
A video is being shared on social media claiming it to be the visuals of the poor eating the food served on carton straps at a BJP programme. Let’s verify the claim made in the post.
Claim: Video showing poor eating the food served on carton straps at a BJP programme.
Fact: The video shared in the post shows visuals from the Golla-Kuruma Athmiya Sammelan meeting organised at Manneguda by the TRS party in October 2022. Due to the lack of plates available for the massive crowd gathered at the Golla-Kuruma meeting, some of the people who attended the meeting ate on carton straps. The video does not show visuals from a BJP meeting. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
On reverse image search of the screenshots of the video, a video with similar visuals was found tweeted by a journalist on 27 October 2022. This journalist reported it as the visuals from the Golla-Kuruma caste meeting organised by the TRS party ahead of the Munugode bye-poll. BSP Telangana leader R.S. Praveen Kumar also tweeted the same video.
When searched for further sources using this information, we found the details of this incident in a news report published by the ‘Eenadu’ newspaper on 27 October 2022. According to the news report, this incident had taken place during the Golla-Kuruma Athmiya Sammelan organised by the TRS party at a function hall in Manneguda, a locality situated in Hyderabad, Telangana. Because of a massive crowd gathered for this meeting, organisers could not control the crowd and a section of the people ate on carton straps due to the lack of plates.
Several other news websites have also published articles and videos reporting this information in October 2022. They can be seen here, here and here.
To sum it up, this video of people eating food on carton straps is from a meeting organised by TRS, not BJP.
