      Video Claiming Arvind Kejriwal Ignored Rahul Gandhis Handshake Is Cropped
      CLAIMVideo shows Arvind Kejriwal refusing to shake hands with Rahul Gandhi during Hemant Soren's oath taking ceremony
      FACT CHECKBOOM found that the claim is false. A live broadcast of the event shows the two shook hands. The viral portion seen in the video is the part taken after Gandhi and Kejriwal shook hands.

      A viral video claiming to show former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal snubbed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi by refusing to shake hands with the latter at an oath taking ceremony in Jharkhand, is cropped and misleading.

      BOOM found that Kejriwal and Gandhi had shook hands moments before the portion seen in the viral video.

      Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) executive president Hemant Soren took oath as the 14th chief minister at Morhabadi ground in Ranchi on November 28, 2024. The ceremony was attended by several leaders of the opposition from the I.N.D.I.A block including West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal, and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.

      Video of Kejriwal and Gandhi shared with false claim

      The 24 seconds long video appears to show Gandhi tentatively extending his right hand forward as a hand shake but Kejriwal greeting Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar standing beside Gandhi.

      The clip was posted on X with a Hindi caption claiming "Kejriwal did not shake hands with Rahul Gandhi. Meaning clearly AAP is not in the mood to give importance to Congress in Delhi elections"

      The viral video was first posted by wire agency ANI (Asian News International) on November 28, 2024, while reporting that Kejriwal had arrived at Jharkhand CM elect Soren's ceremony. Several X users have called out ANI for posting the now viral clip.

      FACT-CHECK: Livestream from oath taking ceremony shows Gandhi and Kejriwal shaking hands

      BOOM found that the claim that Kejriwal refused to shake hands with Rahul Gandhi at Hemant Soren's oath taking ceremony, is false.

      The live-stream from the event shows that the AAP chief shook hands with Gandhi just moments before the sequence seen in the viral video.

      Taking a hint from replies calling out ANI, we checked the live-stream of the ceremony uploaded on YouTube by JharGov TV.

      This is the official channel of the Government of Jharkhand. At the 2.56.06 minutes we can see both of them shaking hands.

      The viral video starts a few moments after they both shake hands. This has been left out of the viral clip to make the false claim.
