A video of a slaughtered cow lying on a BJP flag is being shared on social media with the claim that the visuals are from a recent incident in Karnataka where the Congress won a thumping victory in the assembly elections winning 135 seats, twice as many as the BJP.

The video has been shared by several social media users with the caption: “Khan-Grace’s victory in Karnataka is celebrated by slaughtering a cow on top of the BJP flag. Real Indians. 😡😡😡😢”.


Twitter user @ssingapuri, who has a verified account and describes himself as a ‘social media influencer’ in his bio, shared the video with the same caption.

A user called ‘Tathvam-asi‘ shared the same visuals on Twitter on May 16 with the caption, “Barbarians. I got a video saying it’s from Karnataka and Izlamic fanatics cut the cow on the BJP flag to celebrate Khangress victory. 😭😡 Twitter isn’t allowing me to upload the video so posting the pics.” The tweet has received over 1,00,000 views and has been retweeted over 1,500 times. The user’s bio says he is followed on Twitter by BJP leader Kapil Mishra and Union minister Piyush Goyal’s office.
