These General elections have been witnessing meek attempts from political parties to manufacture and peddle fake narratives to aid their electoral conquest. With parties desperate and peddling fake narratives to save political ground from the BJP, these attempts are failing to stand the test of cores of Indians over social media. These narratives which earlier used to get unopposed traction from elite media circles are also being questioned on their credibility and their verifiability.
In another embarrassment for the Congress, it stands exposed again for manufacturing false narratives. This time, Congress Chief Rahul Gandhi at an election rally in Shadol has made utterly misleading and polarizing comments. A video of the event has surfaced and in the video he says: “Narendra Modi has made a new law for tribals, it has a line in it that says ‘tribals could be shot dead’ it is written in the law that tribals will be attacked…they steal your land…and now they are saying that tribals could be shot dead.”
Taking note of this meek attempt to gain political points, BJP leader Amit Malviya exposed Congress Chief on twitter, he tweeted: “Rahul Gandhi is a congenital LIAR! Can you imagine anyone else speaking such lies and getting away with it? No fact check on Rahul Gandhi’s speeches, no outrage either… This subservience to the family is frankly worrying. But trust the people of India to reject such bigotry.”

Suresh Nakhua, BJP spokesperson for Mumbai also took the statements made by Rahul Gandhi, and pointed out the continuous attempts by the Congress Chief to mislead the nation. He tweeted: “And Rahul Gandhi lies again!!! Don’t understand till what level this entitled brat will fall.”

Congress has been called out multiple times for similar incidents of peddling blatant lies without any restraint. Recently Congress president, Rahul Gandhi was also snubbed by the Supreme Court for attributing comments against the Prime minister to the Court, for the same a contempt notice has also been issued to the Congress Chief.
However this video not only exposes the Congress’ tactics once again but is also highly distressing given the nature of comments. Intimidating a community by spreading false narratives of violent nature has surely given an insight into the depressing state which Congress currently stands in and the lengths to which it can go in order to achieve its political ambitions.
The dire nature of these comments is poised for strict actions from the Election authorities, however no formal action has still been sanctioned. The questions also hover over the elite Media circles, which have been silent on Rahul Gandhi’s dire acts. Openly pushing misleading statements of serious consequences also shows the desperation and rancidity which lurks in the mind of Congress Chief Rahul Gandhi.
