Fact Check: Unrelated Ad Shared As Video On Congress'' Mahalakshmi Scheme

Saturday, May 25, 2024 9:30 AM GMT

A clip has gone viral claiming to show a campaign video by the Indian National Congress (INC) on its 'Mahalakshmi' scheme that promises one lakh rupees annually to one woman from all families living below the poverty line in India.

What is the claim?

A clip has gone viral claiming to show a campaign video by the Indian National Congress (INC) on its 'Mahalakshmi' scheme that promises one lakh rupees annually to one woman from all families living below the poverty line in India. 

In the purported Congress campaign video, a woman questions a lady cleaning what appears to be a waiting room at a clinic or a hospital, suggesting that balancing her professional work and motherhood has caused the latter to fall behind in life. The video then shows a clip of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi talking about the scheme and saying that the party will deposit one lakh rupees a year in the bank accounts of crores of women, which comes down to 8,500 rupees per month for the beneficiaries. The video also featured former Congress President Sonia Gandhi and her daughter and Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi.

Social media users have shared the video with captions saying, "Congress party has released a brilliant campaign video on Mahalakshmi Scheme. It shows the struggle of women & how Mahalakshmi Scheme will transform their lives. This video should be played during IPL ads & TV breaks for mass impact (sic)." Archived versions of these posts can be viewed here and here.
