“Rahul Gandhi said people will die of hunger by saying ‘Bharat Mata ki jai’ and ‘Jai Shree Ram’”
What FACTLY found
Rahul Gandhi addressed a public meeting in Amethi, Uttar Pradesh, during the ‘Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra’ on 19 February 2024. The original video of Rahul Gandhi’s speech has been clipped between timestamp 26:22 to 26:29 and from timestamp 26:59 to 27:10, and shared with a false narrative, distorting the context of his speech. Originally, Rahul Gandhi made these statements while criticizing the Central Government on the issue of unemployment
