India Today
Rahul had gone to Sullamussalam Arts and Science College on March 9, a day before the announcement of the results, and enjoyed a game of badminton in the new indoor stadium.
Indian National Congress has yet again tasted disappointment in the recent assembly elections in five states. The grand old party received a major setback even in Punjab -- a state where it was in power. Meanwhile, a video of the former party President Rahul Gandhi playing shuttle badminton has gone viral on social media along with the claim that he was seen playing amidst the party's heavy defeat.
In the video, Rahul can be seen playing badminton in an indoor court surrounded by a few party leaders, police, and security guards. Rahul's shots are applauded by the crowd in the video.
"After Congress faced humiliation in the five states, Rahul Gandhi was seen playing badminton", quoted a Hindi Facebook page named "Best Hindi News" while sharing this video.
