“Visuals of 'vote chori' protests held across India following Rahul Gandhi's 'vote chori' claims.”
What FACTLY found
These viral visuals are not related to the ‘Vote Chori’ protests. The first video shows a protest held by Durg district Congress members in May 2025 regarding the implementation of the MNREGA scheme. The second video shows a candle march held in Delhi, in December 2024 against the implementation of normalisation in the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) Examination. While ‘vote chori’ protests were indeed held, these videos are unrelated.
