Explanation
Following seven stages of voting in India from April 19 to June 1, 2024, the Election Commission of India will count hundreds of millions of votes and declare the results of the nation’s 18th Lok Sabha election on June 4.
Here, a one-minute video depicts Congress leader Rahul Gandhi sitting next to former chief minister of Rajasthan Ashok Gehlot while they enjoy a musical performance. We also see that there is a person seated behind them, recording the entire party while listening to the loud music.

What’s the truth?
Using pertinent keywords such as “Rahul Gandhi music concert” and “Congress members music function,” we began our investigation. We also performed a Google reverse image search using the viral video’s keyframes.
We discovered two tweets on December 16, 2022, as a result of this. The tweet reads, “Rahul Gandhi at Sunidhi Chauhan’s concert in Jaipur,” and includes the same widely shared video.
The same video was included in another tweet, which also mentioned that it was from the Bharat Jodo concert that took place in Jaipur. This indicates that the video is not recent and is from 2022.

Using this as a clue, we conducted additional research on the concert that took place in Bharat Jodo in 2022 and discovered an article in the New Indian Express. The headline of the piece read, “Rahul ‘connects India’ on 100th day of Yatra with Sunidhi show in Jaipur.” It was posted on December 17, 2022.
As per the article, from Dausa, Rahul traveled 23 miles on foot to arrive in Jaipur. As he walked into Dausa city, he was greeted by enormous crowds. Singer Sunidhi Chauhan was invited by Congress to participate in a concert at Jaipur’s Albert Hall Museum to commemorate the end of the 100-day Bharat Jodo Yatra.
All of this information shows that the film is older and from 2022, when Rahul Gandhi attended the Bharat Jodo 100-day celebration.
Conclusion:
Therefore, we deduce that the widely circulated assertion that Rahul Gandhi is making reels is false and misleading. The music concert was actually from 2022.
