Claim: Rahul Gandhi asked farmers to grow chips and ketchup in place of potatoes and tomatoes.
Fact-check: Rahul Gandhi made comments regarding potato chips and tomato ketchup in the context of food processing units - FACTLY
Verdict: in his recent speech at a rally in hoshiarpur , rahul gandhi was trying to convey that whatever one produces, everything can be manufactured in the food parks, be it potato chips or tomato ketchup. he mistakenly jumbled the words and later corrected himself to go onto say – "you will produce material on your land – you will directly take it to a food processing unit – potato, tomato, chillies, anything you produce – directly you will get money in your pocket". only a part of his speech on food-processing has been shared in the post. hence, the post is misleading.
