Claim: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge publicly stated that the Congress is 'finished.'
Fact-check: The video clip of Mallikarjun Kharge acknowledging that Congress is 'finished' is edited - FACTLY
Verdict: the video has been edited and shared out of context. in the original video, mallikarjun kharge stated "ahmedabad is a city of immense historical significance. it is the birthplace of leaders like mahatma gandhi, sardar patel, and dadabhai naoroji, who contributed greatly to gujarat's prominence. icons such as gandhiji, sardar patel, bholabhai desai, and vitthalbhai patel, along with distinguished figures like the first speaker of our lok sabha, malvankar ji, and many others, laid the foundations of our nation. among these, three presidents of our congress party—sardar patel, mahatma gandhi, and un dhebar—played pivotal roles in strengthening the party. this strong foundation, particularly in ahmedabad, cannot be dismantled by anyone. some people say that the congress is finished, that it is dead and gone. i ask those who make these claims to remember that ahmedabad is the holy place of mahatma gandhi. surprisingly, there are those from this very place who seek to destroy gandhiji's principles." hence the claim made in the post is false.
