Elections are at the end of 2023 in Telangana. One video is getting viral on social media, where we can see that people are standing in line to take liquor and chicken. Users are claiming that the politician took the vote till now by fooling people.
What are the claims?
CA Rajkumar Dohare, an X user while sharing a video wrote “In Warangal, Telangana TRS Politician Rajnala Srihari distributed chicken and liquor. He took vote till now by fooling people”.
Fact Check
To know the truth about the viral video, the DFRAC team converted the video into some key frame and searched it on Google. During this time, the DFRAC team found some media reports.
According to Indian Express and India Today this is an old video. Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) leader Rajnala Srihari distributed liquor bottles and chicken among the local people of Warangal district on 4 Oct 2022, ahead of the launch of the national party (Bharat Rashtra Samithi) by Telangana Chief Minister Kalvakuntla Chandrashekhar Rao (KCR).
Other media houses also covered this situation
Conclusion
It is clear from the DFRAC Fact Check that this is not a recent video, this is 11-month-old video, so the social media user claim is misleading.
