‘Modi Modi’ Chant Added to Rahul Gandhi’s Ujjain Speech Video
The viral clip has been shared nearly 800 times from the Facebook group.
Claim: A viral video purports to show Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s name was chanted during Rahul Gandhi’s speech at Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh on 29 October.
Rating: False.
Fact: The audio of the video clip has been morphed.
A viral video clip purporting to show Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s name was chanted during Congress President Rahul Gandhi’s recent rally at Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, is fake. The audio of the viral video clip has been tampered with.
Rahul Gandhi attacked the prime minister on issues ranging from the Rafale aircraft deal to the top brass shakeup at the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), during his speech at Ujjain on 29 October.
The full video of Gandhi’s speech uploaded to Congress’s official YouTube channel does not include any audio of the crowd chanting “Modi Modi.” Watch the video below from YouTube counter 31:38. He was speaking on the issue of farmers when someone from the crowd interrupted him. It is not clear what the person in the crowd shouted. However, the prime minister’s name cannot be heard and the audio is different from the viral morphed clip.
