New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has been relentless in targeting Modi government over the second wave of Coronavirus pandemic and its mis-management in dealing with once-in-a-century crisis. Though, a couple of times, he received backlash for not walking the talk and cornering the Center for scoring political points.
In a similar incident, Rahul Gandhi has been caught off guard as he shared a fake survey to train guns at Modi dispensation.
Sharing the fake survey done by an agency named Prashnam, Rahul said that the Central government is hiding actual number of Covid deaths. The agency is itself under cloud for its doubtful and suspicious data collection.
Prashnam founder is Chirag Patnaik and he has been a former Congress IT cell member. And, he is also a Modi hater. His Twitter timeline is full of hatred and biased reports against Modi govt.

Chirag Patnaik was also arrested in a case of sexual harassment, related to Congress worker. Following this, he had quit the party. However, he had the blessings of Rahul Gandhi as the latter reportedly helped him start Fake Survey portal Prashnam.

Major question arises is whether it is mere political posturing? There are enough reports of Rajasthan government fudging data of Covid deaths but in spite of acknowledging shortcomings in Cong-ruled state, Rahul Gandhi is finding fault with Centre, citing ‘fake surveys’.
