What FACTLY found

There is no such tweet congratulating the Kerala Mahila Congress president on Rahul Gandhi’s timeline. The image shared in the purported tweet has straight edges and the tweet goes beyond the drop-down menu which is at the top right corner (vertical dots) of a tweet, which is not the case generally. This proves that the image of the tweet is digitally created. Further, there are no media reports about such a tweet by Rahul Gandhi congratulating the Kerala Mahila Congress president
