It has been shared here and here.

FACT CHECK

Digiteye India team took it up for factchecking and found that the image actually belonged to some other event. The image search on Google Reverse Image Search showed the original image that was taken when on December 3, with the caption: “Jaygurudev 3 Dec 2022 Jaigurudev Ashram Mathura A great crowd of people of faith gathered in the program of Pujya Dada Guru Maharaj’s holy Bhandara”.

See the orinigal tweet here with the caption: “Jaygurudev 3 Dec 2022 Huge crowd of people of faith gathered in the program of Pujya Dada Guru Maharaj’s holy Bhandara”.

Moreover, the Bharat Jodo Yatra entered Chanwali in the Jhalawar region of Rajasthan on December 4. (see official schedule of Bharat Jodo Yatra)

Hence, both the image and the claim are FALSE.

Claim: A huge crowd gathered to welcome India’s future Rahul Gandhi at Chanwali in the Jhalawar district of Rajasthan

Conclusion: The image of Pujya Dada Guru Maharaj’s holy Bhandara on Dec. 3, 2022 was used.
