A video claiming to show Rahul Gandhi’s road show in Gujarat is doing the rounds on social media. Many users claim none of the media organisations from the country would show the crowd at Gandhi’s roadshows.
A Facebook user posted (archived link) the viral post with the following caption:
இந்தியாவில் எத்தனை மீடியாக்கள் இதை காட்டியது குஜராத்தில் ராகுல் காந்தி நடத்திய ரோடு ஷோ …. 🧡🤍💚 (English translation: How many media in India showed this road show conducted by Rahul Gandhi in Gujarat …. 🧡🤍💚)

FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the viral post, and found it to be false.
Running a Reverse Image Search of the video keyframes, the NM team identified a tweet on the official handle of the Indian Youth Congress, dated April 3, 2024. The video in the tweet matches exactly with the viral clip with a caption, saying, Gandhi’s roadshow in Wayanad.
Searching further, we came across the same video on the official Instagram handle of the Haryana Youth Congress as well. Here too, we can see the caption states that the video is from Wayanad.
Also, another YouTube video report on the official channel of NDTV, dated April 3, showcases Gandhi’s roadshow in Wayanad, Kerala. Many keyframes and visuals from the report match the viral video, confirming that the latter, indeed, is from Wayanad.
Therefore, we can conclusively say that the viral post, claiming to show Rahul Gandhi’s roadshow in Gujarat, is false.
