Fact-check: An old video is being falsely shared as visuals of Digvijay Singh driving away a woman who came to collect Rs. 8,500 under the Congress's 'guarantee card' scheme - FACTLY
Verdict: according to news reports, this viral video dates back to february 2024 and is not related to the congress's 'guarantee card' scheme. the incident occurred on 21 february 2024, when a woman repeatedly tried to meet digvijay singh despite security personnel's attempts to stop her, leading to his angry outburst. digvijay singh shouted and directed security not to allow her entry. the woman in the viral video is dr. leena sharma, a congress worker from guna district. speaking to the media after the incident, she said that she went to meet digvijay singh to seek the varanasi mp ticket to contest against narendra modi in the 2024 lok sabha elections. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
