Unmasking Misinformation: The Nitin Gadkari Viral Video Controversy

A viral video featuring Union Minister Nitin Gadkari allegedly praising Rahul Gandhi is misleading, according to PTI Fact Check. The video was edited to combine separate segments, falsely attributing commendation to Gadkari. PTI's investigation reveals that Gadkari's comments were general and not specifically about Gandhi.

A video clip of Union Minister Nitin Gadkari calling Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi a 'great leader' is going viral, but PTI Fact Check has debunked this as misinformation.

The video, shared widely on social media including platform 'X', edits two distinct parts of a conversation to create a misleading narrative.

Upon investigation by the PTI Fact Check Desk, it was found that Gadkari's comments were taken out of context from an October 2024 interview, originally focusing on his general experiences with renowned figures.
