Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) IT cell chief Amit Malviya tweeted a video falsely claiming that Congress leader and Former Union Minister Jitendra Singh Alwar bent down and tied Rahul Gandhi's show lace during the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
However, BOOM found that this is false as other videos and images, clearly show Alwar tying his own shoelaces and not Gandhi's.
The video shows events at Congress Bharat Jodo Yatra, during its Haryana led, which started on December 20, 2022. The Yatra led by Gandhi began in Kerala on September 7, 2022, and is today on its 106th day, having traversed through several states across the country. BOOM has debunked several pieces of misinformation around the yatra since it began.
Malviya tweeted the viral video with the caption, "Former union minister Bhanwar Jitendra Singh goes down on his knee to tie Rahul Gandhi's shoelace. The arrogant entitled brat instead of helping himself is seen patting his back…" and text in Hindi that translates to, "Kharge ji was talking about this tradition? There is no dearth of bootlickers in Congress."
