A video showing a girl removing BJP flags from her house after the elections in Karnataka is widely shared on social media. In the video, the girl’s actions are interrupted by a woman, most likely her mother, who contacts a man, likely her father, to prevent the removal ofĀ BJP flags.Ā
The Karnataka assembly elections took place on May 10, with BJP, Congress, and JDS competing for seats. The election results were announced on May 13, revealing a shift in power as the Congress party emerged victorious.Ā
The video is shared on Facebook with a caption: āą“øąµą“µą“Øąµą“¤ą“ ą“µąµą“ąµą“ą“æą“²ąµ RSS ą“®ą“¾ą“²ą“æą“Øąµą“Æą“ąµą“ąµ¾ ą“µąµą“¤ąµą“¤ą“æą“Æą“¾ą“ąµą“ąµą“Øąµą“Ø BJP ą“ąµą“ą“¾ą“°ą“Øąµą“±ąµ ą“®ą“ąµ¾. ą“ąµ¼ą“£ąµą“£ą“¾ą“ą“ą“Æą“æąµ½ ą“¶ą“°ą“æą“ąµą“ąµą“ ą“øą“ą“ą“µą“æą“ąµą“ą“¤ąµ ą“ą“¤ą“¾ą“£ąµāĀ (English translation: BJP worker’s daughter who cleans RSS garbage in her own house.

Performing a Reverse Image Search with relevant keywords, we traced a Facebook page carrying the same viral video on September 24, 2022. The video is titled: āA daughter turned against her motherā. The caption further reads: āAre parents working for BJP unaware of BJP conspiracies? Take care of your children. Because your children learn great things by looking at the outside world and observing society. Your children have started a journey towards humanity. That is why children should read great studies. After studying history, they will learn the wisdom of the world. They can observe truth and falsehood.āĀ
The same video has been also uploaded on another Facebook page, dated April 22, 2022, with a caption: āMother put Modi’s photo in the house, educated daughter protested against putting Modi’s photo in the house.ā Another Facebook page also carried the same video on April 19, 2022.Ā
