Hyderabad: Did the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Munugode candidate Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy cast a bogus vote, or did he tweet a staged video? And why did he delete it later?

Many began asking how he could cast his vote in Munugode, especially with one of the videos he tweeted showing him going behind the polling booth, which has the cardboard partitions, and standing there as if casting his vote. And soon enough, the tweet, which said he had offered special puja at the Shivalayam Temple at Munugode and went to cast his vote, along with the videos were deleted.
