Fact-Checks Reveal Misleading Videos and AI Images Linked to Congress Rallies
Multiple videos and images circulating on social media claim to depict the Indian National Congress-led rallies at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan on 1 November. Fact-checks reveal that some videos date back to earlier Congress events in 2019 and 2025, while certain images linked to the 'Chalo Dilli' rally are AI-generated. These misleading visuals have been used to question rally turnout and authenticity, but verification confirms the original events had significant participation and the disputed media are unrelated or fabricated.
