Altered video circulates, falsely suggesting that Mallikarjun Kharge accused Rahul Gandhi of destroying the nation

In a recent development, a digitally edited video has been circulating on social media platforms, falsely suggesting that Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge blamed Rahul Gandhi for harming the country during a speech.

However, a closer examination of the video reveals that it is, in fact, doctored. The original speech, which can be found on the Congress party's official YouTube channel, paints a different picture.

During the speech, part of the "Jan Vishwas Rally" of the INDIA alliance, held in Patna on 3 March 2024, Kharge can be heard clearly stating that the Prime Minister, not Rahul Gandhi, is responsible for harming the country. This assertion can be heard at the 29-second mark in the full-length video.

Furthermore, there is no reference to Rahul Gandhi in the original speech, and no reliable news outlet or official transcript supports the claim that Kharge recently blamed Rahul Gandhi for ruining the country.

It's important to note that the viral clip can be traced back to keyframes on the video, indicating that it has been manipulated. The identified manipulated videos can be contrasted with the original speech on the official Congress party YouTube channel, providing a clear and accurate account of what was said during the rally.

In conclusion, the claim that Mallikarjun Kharge blamed Rahul Gandhi for ruining the country is false. The original footage of the speech, which is the authoritative source for the genuine speech, can be found on the Congress party's official YouTube channel. It is crucial to verify information before sharing it, particularly in the digital age where misinformation can spread quickly.
