Explanation
An image of Rahul Gandhi with a nameplate in front of him that reads “Rahul Rajiv Feroz, Gold from Potato Expert, Wayanad, Kerala” is shared on social media.
What is the truth?
When searching the viral image with Google Lens it is found that the nameplate in the image is photoshopped.

He also mentioned that Rahul Gandhi has consistently given people a safe space to voice their concerns and aspirations and has set the narrative for the future of politics.
