An 18-second clip from an election rally in Hubbali, Karnataka, is viral with the claim that Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge waited for Sonia Gandhi’s approval to take a seat on the dais. The viral clip does not have an audio.<\/p>\n

In-charge of BJP’s national information & technology department, Amit Malviya, who shares misinformation on social media on a regular basis, tweeted the clip and wrote, “Reminds me of the famous dialogue from Zanjeer\u2026 \u091c\u092c \u0924\u0915 \u092c\u0948\u0920\u0928\u0947 \u0915\u094b \u0928\u0939\u0940\u0902 \u0915\u0939\u093e \u091c\u093e\u090f, \u0936\u0930\u093e\u092b\u093c\u0924 \u0938\u0947 \u0916\u0921\u093c\u0947 \u0930\u0939\u094b\u2026 A vote for Congress means letting Sonia and Rahul Gandhi run Karnataka by proxy”. He also urged his followers to vote wisely on May 10, the day of the Karnataka elections. (Archive<\/a>)

The official handle for Bharatiya Janata Party Karnataka also tweeted the clip and wrote, “Three generations of the Gandhi family have consistently disrespected Karnataka and its leaders: Indira humiliated Nijalingappa, Rajiv demeaned Veerendra Patil, and now Sonia-Rahul belittle Mallikarjun Kharge.
