Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee, being the greatest critic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ignites the spark between these two political parties in the country. Modi’s frequent Bengal visit is appreciated by many and some consider this as a reducing gap between the two ever arguing parties. Although, a video is taking rounds on the social media, where the BJP workers are seen ransacking a house in Bengal. People claim that this is a sign of protest against the ruling authority and the never ending bickering among the parties.
Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA) has confirmed that the video is not from West Bengal but Telangana. On January 31, BJP workers attacked the house of Warangal TRS MLA Challa Dharma Reddy after he reportedly made objectionable comments on the Ram Mandir donation drive. A “Hindustan Times” report of February 1 published a similar image of BJP workers throwing plastic chairs at a house. As per this report, 39 BJP workers were arrested for attacking the residence of TRS MLA Challa Dharma Reddy in Warangal, Telangana. The police produced them in a local court which sent them to 14-day judicial custody. They were shifted to Warangal central jail in the afternoon.
Another 14 BJP workers who were also allegedly involved in the attack on the MLA’s residence are absconding, the police said. The BJP workers led by the party’s Warangal (urban) district unit president Rao Padma attacked Reddy’s residence at Hunter Road in Hanamkonda, in protest against the latter’s comments alleging that the BJP leaders were collecting huge funds in the name of construction of the Ram temple at Ayodhya without showing any accounts and were swindling the money.
The BJP workers pelted stones and eggs at the MLA’s residence and damaged window panes, flower pots and other properties on the premises. The police rushed to the spot and prevented the BJP workers from barging inside. They took the mob into custody and shifted them to Subedari police station.
Hence, it is confirmed that the video showing BJP workers ransacking a house is not from West Bengal but Telangana.
