Fact check

After looking further, we got the full video of Rahul Gandhi which is circulated on social media. The viral video is taken during his public meeting at Hapta Kangjeibung, Imphal. In his speech, he mentioned that the ruling party (BJP) comes with the air of superiority in Manipur whereas Congress respects the language and culture of the state. At the end of the speech, he politely mentioned that even though it was raining but you all came to the gathering, Thank you. Rahul Gandhi himself posted the video of his speech on Twitter. Therefore, the video is edited and misled by the users.
