Many states, including Telangana faced flood of River Godavari after continuous heavy rains. Few lost their lives and several being stranded in flood water.
Meanwhile, Telangana Rashtra Samithi's (TRS) social media convener Y Sathish Reddy shared an image collage showing a group of BJP leaders happily posing to a picture, while the TRS leaders are working to help people affected by flood in Telangana.
The image collage was shared with caption "Look at the difference between #TRS & #BJP. While the leaders of TRS are right with the people in this hour of flood crisis, BJP Leaders are partying in Goa & chilling out with their friends! @KTRTRS"
The photo of BJP leaders shows Union Minister G Kishan Reddy, Begusarai MP Giriraj Singh, and Lok Sabha MP SS Ahluwalia, among others, seated together.
His tweet has been shared by few on facebook.
Fact check:
Viral image shows the BJP leaders in a Party Parliamentary meeting and NOT partying in Goa. The claim is FALSE.
When we searched for the image using Google reverse image search, we found the same image was shared by Union Minister of Tourism and Culture G Kishan Reddy on Twitter account on July 16, 2022.
The caption of the tweet is " The photo of BJP leaders shows Union Minister G Kishan Reddy, Begusarai MP Giriraj Singh, and Lok Sabha MP SS Ahluwalia, among others, seated together."
All the eminent BJP leaders attended this meeting including PM Modi.
Several other BJP leaders also shared the images of themselves attending the meeting in Balayogi Auditorium in Delhi.
When we observed the images shared, we found that the premises is the same and the viral image is definitely taken in Balayogi auditorium, Parliament Bhavan, New Delhi during the BJP Parliamentary party meeting.
BJP local leaders like Bandi Sanjay and others have also visited local areas in Telangana affected due to floods.
