# BJP Says Rahul Gandhi Misled Students, No Shots at March

Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

The BJP has accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of spreading false narratives and using students for political gain. Party spokesperson Sambit Patra told reporters that no shots were fired during the July 20 Sansad Chalo march, as claimed by some protesters. Patra also questioned why Gandhi met Delhi students but only called protesting students in Jharkhand instead of visiting them, as reported by Siasat.com. At Gandhi’s press conference, a woman alleged that police struck her in a private area during the march. The Times Now report highlighted the apparent inconsistency in Gandhi’s outreach, but there is no independent verification of either the police conduct or the BJP’s denial. Both versions remain unsubstantiated.
