Did Congress Distribute Sanitary Pads With Rahul Gandhi’s Image on Them in Bihar? Party Fact-Checks Fake Video Going Viral

The Congress party has started distributing packets of sanitary pads to women in Bihar to promote menstrual hygiene awareness. However, the party's imitative became the target of a widespread fake news campaign. The packets of sanitary pads distributed by the Congress party had photos of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. Yet, some X accounts escalated the controversy, claiming Rahul Gandhi's image was printed on the sanitary pads themselves. A video falsely depicting his photo printed directly on the sanitary pads quickly went viral. Subsequently, the Congress issued a clarification and said the viral video is fake. Debunking the fake news, Congress leader Alka Lamba made a video with the distributed sanitary pads and showed they do not have Rahul Gandhi's photo on them.
