Clipped video<\/h4>\n

Alt News performed a keyword search<\/a> on YouTube and found a March 19 video uploaded by the Indian National Congress. Rahul Gandhi is dressed in the same clothes as in the viral clip. The video is titled, ‘LIVE: Shri Rahul Gandhi interacts with College Students at Lahowal, Dibrugarh, Assam’. In the hour-long video, visuals from the clip in question appear after the 24:16 mark<\/a>. The conversation between Rahul Gandhi and the audience member in the white shirt is as follows:<\/p>\n

Rahul Gandhi: “Ask them one thing, do they think unemployment has increased under BJP rule?”<\/p>\n

Student: “It has not increased.”<\/p>\n

Rahul Gandhi: \u201cIt has increased?”<\/p>\n

(The rest of the students explain the question to the person in the white shirt.)<\/p>\n

The student then says something in Assamese which is translated by another student \u2013 “He is saying that unemployment has increased.”<\/p>\n
