Doing a keyword search, we found a news report by Aaj Tak, dated December 5, 2022, carrying similar viral videos. According to the reports, when the yatra reached Agar Malwa in Madhya Pradesh, some people raised slogans of ‘Modi-Modi’. In response to this, Rahul Gandhi greeted and asked to make the voice louder.
The Live Hindustan news report, dated December 5, also confirms that some people raised slogans of ‘Modi-Modi’ when Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ was passing through Agar Malwa district of Madhya Pradesh. In this video, Kamal Nath is also seen walking behind in the car.
India Today also published a video with a caption: “Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, who is currently leading the Bharat Jodo Yatra through Rajasthan, was seen giving a flying kiss to a crowd who chanted ‘Modi-Modi’ slogans when the yatra was on its Madhya Pradesh leg.” The same was reported by Navbharat Times on December 6, 2022.
Thus, it is evident from the above information that the viral video is from Madhya Pradesh and not Rajasthan.
