What is the Actual Truth About this Incident? : Fact
This is an old Telangana video, that much is true. In the Munugode assembly constituency in the Nalgonda district of Telangana, during a Munugode by-election in 2022, TRS workers were shown in this video throwing stones and damaging the BJP’s publicity vehicle of Huzurabad MLA Eetala Rajendar. It is a fact that not only is the video old, but it has nothing to do with ordinary individuals.
