BIG CLAIM, BIGGER FACT-CHECK: Rahul Gandhi says 300 MPs joined his protest demanding CEC Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation.

But the numbers don’t add up. The entire 19-party INDIA bloc has around 240 MPs in Lok Sabha + Rajya Sabha. Even adding BJD’s 5 Rajya Sabha MPs takes it to only ~245.

Rahul Gandhi has been raising SIR and voter-list irregularities for nearly a year, but critics say he is now copying Abhijeet Dipke’s campaign, slogans and style after the latter’s protests gained attention.

During the protest, Rahul Gandhi also clashed with a journalist, accusing him of speaking like a BJP supporter when asked questions he did not like.

300 MPs claimed. ~245 at most by the stated numbers. The fact-check speaks for itself.
