# New site claims Rahul Gandhi’s 29 of 40 student event statements false 2026-08-26T20:41:43+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A new website named 'Jhooth Ki Goonj' has been launched, claiming to fact-check the statements made by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi during his recent outreach events with students. According to the site, out of 40 statements Rahul Gandhi made across four events, 29 were found to be false and 11 were misleading. The website's analysis does not specify the exact statements or provide verifiable evidence for its claims. It comes amid a political push by the Congress party to connect with young voters ahead of upcoming elections. ## Indian Opinion Analysis This website enters a crowded space of political fact-checking platforms in India, many of which are accused of bias by rival parties. The Congress has not yet responded to the specific allegations. With elections approaching, such targeted counters to opposition outreach are likely to increase. The credibility of 'Jhooth Ki Goonj' will depend on whether it releases its full methodology and source materials for independent verification. The next test will be how the Congress responds to these specific claims. ## Coverage - ndtv.com Reports the launch of the website and its claim without endorsement or challenge.
