Bullock cart event in Maharashtra misleadingly presented as Rahul Gandhi's 'Voter Empowerment March' in Bihar
A video showing a massive crowd has been circulating on social media, with claims that it depicts a rally during Rahul Gandhi's 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' in Bihar. However, a thorough fact-checking investigation has revealed that the video is not related to Mr. Gandhi's campaign.
The video, which was uploaded on YouTube on 23rd June 2025, predates the launch of Rahul Gandhi's 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' on 17th August 2025. The event in the video was actually a bullock cart race held at the Hindkesari Ground in Pedgaon, Satara, Maharashtra.
This was confirmed by an organiser of the bullock cart race, who was contacted by the fact-checking organisation, Newschecker. The video indeed shows the bullock cart race organised at the Hindkesari Ground in Pedgaon.
Moreover, the viral video shows members of the crowd wearing T-shirts with bull images, which further substantiates the claim that the video is unrelated to Rahul Gandhi's 'Voter Adhikar Yatra'.
Interestingly, another video with similar visuals was shared on Instagram on 23rd June 2025, and a photo uploaded in June 2025 to Google Street View imagery of Hindkesari Maidan matches the visuals seen in the viral video. Additionally, multiple other videos of the event were found on YouTube.
The 'Voter Adhikar Yatra', launched against the backdrop of Congress's accusations of "vote chori" against the Election Commission and the INDIA Bloc's opposition to the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Bihar, is a 16-day march covering over 1,300 km across more than 20 districts of Bihar. The campaign will conclude with a rally at Gandhi Maidan in Patna on 1st September 2025.
In conclusion, the claim made in the viral post that the video shows a massive crowd gathering at Rahul Gandhi's 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' rally held in August 2025 in Bihar is FALSE. The video is from a bullock cart race held at the Hindkesari Ground in Pedgaon, Satara, Maharashtra.
