A new controversy erupted after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was accused of feeding 'rejected dog buiscuits' to the party's workers during the Bharat Jodo Yatra. Rahul Gandhi dog video on Tuesday went viral on social media after Congress shared the video wondering it may win the netizens' hearts. Sharing the video, Congress wrote, "A brief pause for a paw-some furry friend". Rahul Gandhi viral dog video was reportedly filmed during his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Jharkhand.
However, BJP's IT Cell Head Amit Malviya shared Rahul Gandhi dog video with the caption in Hindi whose translated version say, "Just a few days ago, Congress President Kharge ji compared the party's booth agents to dogs and here Rahul Gandhi is feeding biscuits to a dog during his visit and when the dog did not eat, he gave the same biscuits to his worker. If a party whose president and crown prince treats its party workers like dogs, then it is natural for such a party to disappear."
This sparked a massive row as a section of social media users shared the video claiming that Rahul Gandhi actually fed 'rejected dog buiscuits' to Congress workers. However, Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday finally broke his silence and said-
"I called the dog and the owner. The dog was nervous, shivering and when I tried to feed it, the dog got scared. So I gave biscuits to the dog's owner and the dog ate them from his hand. I don't understand what's the issue with it." On being asked about BJP's allegations that the man was a Congress worker during a press conference, Rahul Gandhi said, "No, where was he a Congress worker. I don't understand BJP's obsession with dogs."
Therefore, it can be said that the claims that Rahul Gandhi fed rejected dog food to Congress Karyakartas (Workers) are not true.
