Did Rahul Gandhi Lose Temper Over 'Jai Shri Ram' Slogans?

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s IT cell head Amit Malviya shared a video on Sunday from Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Assam. The video depicted the Congress leader disembarking from his bus and approaching individuals from the crowd who were purportedly chanting 'Jai Shri Ram' and 'Modi Modi.'

Malviya claimed that Rahul Gandhi became agitated upon hearing these slogans. "Rahul Gandhi lost his cool after Jai Shri Ram and Modi Modi slogans were raised in his presence. If this is how rattled he is, how will he face the people of this country in days ahead, after the anti-Hindu Congress rejected the invite to be part of the Pran Pratistha in Ayodhya?" wrote Malviya on X, attaching the video.

In response, Rahul Gandhi asserted that a group of BJP workers carrying sticks appeared in front of his bus. "20-25 BJP workers carrying sticks came in front of our bus, and when I came out from the bus, they ran away... they think that Congress is scared of BJP and RSS, they're dreaming. They can tear as many posters and placards as they want, we don't care. We are not scared of anybody, we are neither scared of PM Narendra Modi nor Assam CM," stated Gandhi.

During his yatra, as reported by news agency ANI, Rahul Gandhi was swiftly escorted inside the 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' bus by security personnel and party workers due to a perceived threat from a large crowd carrying BJP flags and chanting slogans.

In a video posted by the Congress, Rahul Gandhi was later seen blowing flying kisses at the same crowd from his bus. Notably, both the BJP's Malviya and the Congress selectively edited the video, omitting certain parts to support their respective narratives.
