      No, This Photo Does Not Show BJP Leaders Partying In Goa

      A collage of four images, including one featuring Bharatiya Janata Party members at an auditorium in the Parliament, is viral with false claims that it shows leaders of the ruling party unwinding in Goa at a time when others are helping flood hit people.

      The image includes BJP members Shandilya Giriraj Singh, Saumitra Khan, SS Ahluwalia, Kailash Choudhary, G Kishan Reddy and Sukanta Majumdar.

      BOOM reached out to BJP MP Saumitra Khan, who confirmed that the photograph is from Balayogi Auditorium in Parliament Library Building, New Delhi.

      Telangana is experiencing floods after week-long heavy rains led to the overflowing of the Godavari river in the north and eastern districts of the state. The Indian Express reported, at least 15 lives were lost in monsoon-related incidents last week. Following the floods, authorities are also fearing an outbreak of diseases among those in the relief camps.

      Y Satish Reddy, social media convenor of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), tweeted the collage with a caption, "Look at the difference between TRS & BJP. While the leaders of TRS are right with the people in this hour of flood crisis, BJP Leaders are partying in Goa & chilling out with their friends!"
