Fact-checking is an essential part of ensuring accurate information in today's digital age. Recently, a claim has been circulating on social media that Indian National Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has stopped mentioning industrialists Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani in his election rallies since the announcement of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. However, after cross-checking the evidence, it has been determined that this claim is false.
At a recent election rally in Telangana's Karimnagar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi alleged that Gandhi had stopped talking about the two businessmen and accused Congress of receiving money from them. This video was shared on multiple social media platforms with similar claims. However, upon further investigation, it was found that Gandhi has mentioned Adani and Ambani at least 25 times in his speeches since March 17, 2024.
To verify this claim, Logically Facts checked transcripts and videos of Gandhi's speeches from March 17 to May 8, 2024, which are publicly available on Congress' official website and YouTube channel. It was found that in May alone, Gandhi mentioned the two businessmen in six speeches at election rallies. For example, on May 6 at a rally in Jharkhand's Singhbhum, Gandhi spoke about Adani and Ambani's influence and Modi's relationship with them. Similarly, on May 7 at a rally in Madhya Pradesh's Khargone, Gandhi talked about the impact of abolishing the constitution on the rights of the people and forests, which would ultimately benefit billionaires like Adani.
Other instances of Gandhi's speeches in March and April also included similar accusations against the BJP for aiding Adani and Ambani at the cost of the poor, Adivasi, and backward classes. These speeches were made in different states such as Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, and the union territory of Daman & Diu. It is clear from the evidence that Gandhi has not stopped mentioning the two businessmen, as claimed by Modi.
Therefore, it can be concluded that the claim made by Prime Minister Modi is false. Gandhi has consistently brought up Adani and Ambani in most of his election rallies held after the announcement of the elections. This goes against Modi's statement that Gandhi has suddenly stopped talking about them. As a result, the claim has been marked as false.
In conclusion, it is essential to fact-check information before sharing it on social media to avoid spreading false claims. In this case, the evidence has proven that Gandhi has not stopped mentioning Adani and Ambani, highlighting the importance of verifying information from reliable sources.
