The <strong>per kg<\/strong> phrase is circled to stress on the fact that liquids are usually measured by volume and not by weight and Mr Gandhi quoting the price of the petrol in terms of kilograms shows his ignorance about the issue. Did the Congress President make such a faux pas?<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"und\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wsziXbZmdK\">pic.twitter.com\/wsziXbZmdK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Paresh Rawal (@SirPareshRawal) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SirPareshRawal\/status\/999702621924614144?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 24, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Firstly, this tweet doesn&#8217;t exist on the Congress President&#8217;s Twitter timeline. So, if he tweeted this, he could have deleted it, or this is a morphed tweet which Gandhi never tweeted. To figure out the authenticity of the tweet, we tried checking if the tweet has any abnormalities. We took a screenshot of Gandhi&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RahulGandhi\/status\/999575452749574144\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweet<\/a> on fuel price rise and compared it to the screenshot that is viral on social media. We added a red coloured guideline on the left-hand side of both the screenshots to check text-alignment. The screenshots can be seen below.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13218\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13218\" style=\"width: 533px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13218\" src=\"http:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/Selection_25_05_2018_002.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"533\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/Selection_25_05_2018_002.png 533w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/Selection_25_05_2018_002-260x300.png 260w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/Selection_25_05_2018_002-365x420.png 365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13218\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Screenshot taken from Congress President&#8217;s timeline, red guideline was added.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13219\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13219\" style=\"width: 719px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13219\" src=\"http:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/Selection_25_05_2018_003.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"719\" height=\"494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/Selection_25_05_2018_003.png 719w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/Selection_25_05_2018_003-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/Selection_25_05_2018_003-100x70.png 100w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/Selection_25_05_2018_003-218x150.png 218w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/Selection_25_05_2018_003-696x478.png 696w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2018\/05\/Selection_25_05_2018_003-611x420.png 611w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 719px) 100vw, 719px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13219\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Screenshot taken from Paresh Rawal&#8217;s timeline, red coloured guideline added.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In the first screenshot, it is visible that the display picture in the tweet, the text of the tweet and the timestamp at the bottom of the tweet are all perfectly aligned to the left along one straight line.
