Congress IT cell chief Divya Spandana on Thursday, 4 April, took to Twitter to share a 118-second snappy video on Modi's "New India." From unemployment to mob-lynchings, the video covered a range of issues the country saw over Modi's five-year-rule.

Only, some of the photos used in the video are from the Congress's own rule, pointed out a Twitter user.

Using the Invid plugin, we broke down the video into key-frames and ran a reverse image search on the images shown in the video.

At 27 seconds into the video, an image of a malnourished baby appears on screen. A reverse image search on this picture showed us that the photo was originally clicked by AP photographer Rafiq Maqbool and is from 22 October 2010, a time when the Congress was at the Centre.

At 33 seconds into the video, a series of visuals of protests are shown in the video under the header 'Unemployment.'

However, neither are these protests against unemployment, nor are these from the Modi regime. A reverse image search on these pictures led us to Framepool, a video library, where the clip was catalogued as a video from 22 December 2012.

The video is actually of protests against the Nirbhaya rape case in Delhi, which occurred again in the Congress regime.
