A video through a post is being widely shared on social media claiming that BJP leaders were beaten by the public in Uttar Pradesh. Let us fact-check the claim made in the post.
Claim: Visuals of BJP leaders beaten by the public in Uttar Pradesh.
Fact: The video is from Telangana and not Uttar Pradesh. The visuals were from an anti-Modi protest that was held in Jangaon (Telangana) where the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) workers and BJP workers clashed. The anti-Modi protests were held to denounce PM Modi’s statements on Telangana state formation in the Parliament recently. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
When reverse image search is done on the screenshots of the video, the same visuals were found in a video published by the Times of India. According to the video, the visuals are from an anti-Modi protest that was held in Jangaon where the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) workers and BJP workers clashed violently. The anti-Modi protests were held to denounce PM Modi’s statements on Telangana state formation in Parliament recently.
Recently, there were protests denouncing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement in Parliament regarding the Andhra Pradesh bifurcation done by the UPA government in 2014. The workers of Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS), the ruling party in the state, clashed with the workers of BJP after BJP workers tried to prevent the TRS from burning an effigy of PM Modi at the Jangaon crossroads in Telangana. Over the remarks of PM Modi on the passage of the AP bifurcation bill 2014, TRS MPs moved a privilege motion against PM Modi.
To sum it up, visuals of a clash between BJP and TRS workers in Telangana are shared as BJP leaders beaten by the public in Uttar Pradesh.
