As the 2024 General elections approach, a video of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has been making its rounds on social media. In the video, Gandhi can be heard saying, "If our government comes to power, we will abolish the Constitution." This has sparked controversy and raised questions about the authenticity of the video. Let's delve deeper and verify its validity.
The archived post of the video can be accessed here. The claim being made is that Rahul Gandhi has declared that the Congress party intends to abolish the Constitution once they are in power. However, upon further investigation, it has been found that the viral video is actually a clipped version. In the full video, Gandhi was quoting statements made by BJP members regarding the abolition or alteration of the Constitution. Therefore, the claim being made in the post is false.
A reverse image search of the keyframes extracted from the viral video led us to the full video, which was originally live-streamed on the official YouTube channel of the Indian National Congress on 29 April 2024. In the video, Gandhi can be seen addressing a public meeting in Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. He mentions, "BJP leaders—not just one, but many—have stated that if our government is formed, then this time we will abolish the Constitution." This statement shows that the video has been clipped to make it seem like Gandhi is making plans to abolish the Constitution on behalf of the Congress party.
Moreover, in his speech, Gandhi also talks about how the 2024 Lok Sabha election has become a battle to protect democracy, reservation, the Constitution, and the rights of the poor. He emphasizes that the Congress party is committed to safeguarding the Constitution from the BJP. This further proves that the viral video has been manipulated and taken out of context.
In conclusion, it is evident that the video of Rahul Gandhi has been deliberately clipped and shared with a false claim. The truth is that he was quoting the statements made by BJP members and expressing his party's commitment to protecting the Constitution.
