“A video shows Rohtak Congress MP Deepender Singh Hooda crying and being carried by supporters after the Congress’s defeat in the recent 2024 Haryana assembly elections.”
What FACTLY found
The video is from 04 June 2024, when Deepender Singh Hooda won the Rohtak seat in Haryana by over 3 lakh votes. He became emotional after his victory in the 2024 General Election, as a crowd gathered at his home to celebrate, having narrowly lost in 2019 by just 7,000 votes. Moved by the support and the significant turnaround, Hooda was in tears. The video is unrelated to the Congress party’s loss in the recent 2024 Haryana Assembly elections.
