Original review summary

The review says the video was from celebrations after the Supreme Court stayed Rahul Gandhi’s conviction in August 2023, not celebrations before the announcement of the 2024 election result. It reports finding the same footage in an August 2023 Congress post and an August 2023 post by the Indian Youth Congress president.[S1]

Additional context

The review says the Supreme Court stayed Gandhi’s conviction on 4 August 2023, paving the way for his return to Parliament. [S1]
