Altered video depicts 2022 BJP-BRS confrontation in Telangana, incorrectly portrayed as BJP leaders being assaulted by the public in Bihar in August 2025
In February 2022, a violent clash took place between Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) workers in Jangaon, Telangana, India. The incident was part of anti-Modi protests organized by the then-ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), now known as Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS).
The clash occurred following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's comments on Telangana state formation in the Rajya Sabha. The protests were organized across the state of Telangana, with the clash specifically taking place near the Bus Station Circle in Jangaon.
The viral video depicting the clash was geolocated to the Bus Station Circle in Jangaon, Telangana. This video was published in a news report by 'The Times of India' on 10 February 2022, with the report titled 'BJP, TRS workers clash violently during anti-Modi protest in Telangana'. The report featured visuals similar to those in the viral clip.
It's important to clarify that the clash in the viral video did not occur in Bihar, as claimed in some posts. The video dates back to February 2022, and it does not show BJP leaders being beaten by the public in Bihar in August 2025, as incorrectly stated in some claims.
The clash between BJP and BRS workers in February 2022 was a significant event during the anti-Modi protests in Telangana. The incident serves as a reminder of the political tensions that can arise during such demonstrations.
