THE BJP on Sunday accused the Congress of spreading misinformation and fake news, calling the party a "factory of fake news" in response to recent remarks by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on India's economic progress.
Amit Malviya, who heads the BJP's National Information & Technology Department, cited seven alleged instances of misinformation shared by Congress over the past two weeks. In a video posted on social media platform X, Malviya claimed that the Congress has repeatedly used doctored videos and fabricated documents to attack the government.
