What FACTLY found
The video is from March 2019, during Pawan Kalyan’s election campaign in Guntur, where he visited Jana Sena MLA candidate Sheikh Zia Ur Rehman’s house and had lunch with his family. Reports confirm that Ramzan in 2019 occurred between May and June, proving that the event had no connection to any Iftar party.
