The truth of the claim…
The viral video clip is from the press conference held by the Congress Committee 3 days ago ie on March 21. The entire video of the press conference was streamed live on the official YouTube channel of the Congress on 21 March.
The viral video clip can be seen at 15 minutes 32 seconds in the video on the YouTube channel. At 15 minutes 32 seconds it is seen that only one glass of water was kept on the table and that too in front of Sonia Gandhi. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge picked up the glass of water placed in front of Sonia Gandhi and asked her to drink water. In response to this Sonia Gandhi refused. At the same time, when he offered water to Rahul Gandhi, he also refused to drink the water.
In the next phase of the investigation, we verified the facts of the claim being made along with the viral video. During this time, we found a video on the Congress YouTube channel, where Rahul Gandhi is seen eating sweets from the hands of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge.
It is written in the title of this video – Mallikarjun Kharge was feeding sweets to Rahul Gandhi. This video is from the time Rahul Gandhi was reinstated as an MP. This is clearly being done with viral videos on social media. wrong claim Yes.
