“The video shows Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge criticising Rahul Gandhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav.”
What FACTLY found
The video is edited. In the original speech, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge was criticising PM Modi, Amit Shah, and the BJP over “vote chori,” not Rahul Gandhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav. In the viral video, Modi and Shah’s names were replaced with Rahul and Tejashwi. Additionally, there are no reports of Kharge criticising Rahul Gandhi or Tejashwi Yadav ahead of the 2025 Bihar elections.
