What is the Actual Truth About this Incident? : Fact
The truth is that this footage was edited digitally and is outdated. Union Home Minister states in the original video. “If the BJP forms the government in Telangana state, the religion-based unconstitutional reservation for Muslims will be abolished.” In April 2023, he made these remarks at a public rally in Chevella, which is close to Hyderabad. So, the claim that he said SC, ST, and OBC reservations will be scrapped if BJP forms the government is not true at all. The Youtube Video was uploaded on April 24, 2023.
