A video of a scuffle between few people — appears to be a meeting or a conference room — is doing the rounds on social media. The post claims that it is a recent video of the BJP leaders beating each other with shoes.
The post reads: एक मिनट में एक दूसरे पर जूता बरसाते , ये हैं बेशर्म संस्कारों वाले भाजपाई #बेशर्म_भाजपाई_संस्कार (English translation: Showering shoes on each other in just a minute. These are the shameless BJP people)
Here’s the link to the above post.
