A video of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress leader Sonia Gandhi swapping chairs is being shared with the claim that the ex-PM was made to vacate his seat for Gandhi.<\/p>\n
A user named Manoj Srivastava<\/a> (@ManojSr60583090) shared the video. In the tweet text, he said that Congress leader Sonia Gandhi had made Singh get up from the PM’s seat and sit on a peon’s chair. Hence, the Congress should not talk about showing respect to someone, he added.<\/p>\n *\u0915\u093e\u0902\u0917\u094d\u0930\u0947\u0938 \u0915\u0947 \u0932\u093f\u090f \u0938\u092e\u094d\u092e\u093e\u0928 \u0915\u0940 \u092c\u093e\u0924 \u0915\u0930\u0928\u093e*<\/p>\n *\u0936\u094b\u092d\u093e \u0928\u0939\u0940\u0902 \u0926\u0947\u0924\u093e \u0939\u0948*<\/p>\n *\u0938\u094b\u0928\u093f\u092f\u093e \u092e\u093e\u0928\u094d\u092f\u094b \u090f\u0902\u091f\u094b\u0928\u0940\u092f\u094b*<\/p>\n *\u0928\u0947 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u094b\u091f\u094b\u0915\u0949\u0932 \u0915\u0947 \u0905\u0902\u0924\u0930\u0917\u0924*<\/p>\n *\u092e\u0928\u092e\u094b\u0939\u0928 \u0938\u093f\u0902\u0939 \u0915\u094b*<\/p>\n *\u092a\u0940\u090f\u092e \u0915\u0940 \u0915\u0941\u0930\u094d\u0938\u0940 \u0938\u0947 \u0909\u0920\u093e\u0915\u0930*<\/p>\n *\u091a\u092a\u0930\u093e\u0938\u0940 \u0935\u093e\u0932\u0940 \u0915\u0941\u0930\u094d\u0938\u0940 \u092a\u0930 \u092c\u0948\u0920\u093e \u0926\u093f\u092f\u093e*<\/p>\n *\u0914\u0930 \u0916\u0941\u0926 \u092c\u0948\u0920 \u0917\u0908*<\/p>\n *\u0917\u0941\u0932\u093e\u092e \u0926\u0947\u0916\u0924\u093e \u0930\u0939 \u0917\u092f\u093e \u0915\u0941\u091b \u0928\u0939\u0940\u0902 \u092c\u094b\u0932\u093e*<\/p>\n *\u0927\u093f\u0915\u094d\u0915\u093e\u0930 \u0939\u0948 \u0910\u0938\u0947 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0927\u093e\u0928\u092e\u0902\u0924\u094d\u0930\u0940 \u092a\u0930* pic.twitter.com\/DxADPNkghH<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Manoj Srivastava (@ManojSr60583090) May 27, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The video was shared recently by several Twitter users with similar captions.
