Fact Check- 

We started our investigation by running a keyword search on YouTube, resulting in the original video uploaded on Rahul Gandhi’s official YouTube channel on May 10, 2024. According to the caption written with the video, this video of Rahul Gandhi was from a public meeting organized in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. We saw the viral video portion from 46:09 minutes to 47:42 minutes further in the video. During this timeline, Rahul Gandhi says, “What is true is that on June 4, 2024, Narendra Modi will no longer be the Prime Minister of India. You take it in writing, Narendra Modi cannot become the PM of India. Whatever work and hard work we had to do, we have done it. Now you see, our alliance is not going to get even a single seat less than fifty in Uttar Pradesh. And in the rest of the country, in every state, we have stopped the BJP.” After this he further says, “These media people who belong to Adani will not tell the truth. These are our brothers, we love them, we love them, but they have to take a salary, that is why they cannot write this truth. They have to raise children, but if you look at their faces now, they are also smiling because they also know. What is happening is that whatever Rahul Gandhi is saying is true and Narendra Modi is not becoming PM. As it is said in English, goodbye, thank you.

In our search we saw a post on Rahul Gandhi’s official X account on May 15. In which he wrote that no matter how much the ‘Factory of Lies’ BJP consoles itself, it will not make any difference. I am saying it once again – Narendra Modi will no longer be the Prime Minister after June 4. The storm of INDIA is blowing in every corner of the country. From this it can be understood that Rahul Gandhi had written this post in the context of his edited video.

Below in this post, quoting the official X handle of Congress, a comparison video between Rahul Gandhi’s edited video and the viral video has been posted. It is also written that “Drowning BJP and Narendra Modi’s fake news factory now have the support of fake videos only. “As a matter of habit, they made a fake video by editing Rahul Gandhiji’s speech and then were caught red-handed.”
