In the video, Rahul Gandhi can be heard saying, “Brothers and sisters, there is no shortage of money in this country. Have you ever seen a tube well pump? when you turn it on, immediately water comes out from it. Likewise, a pump was installed. Do not laugh. The button will be pressed somewhere in Delhi or Mumbai. The pump will turn on and the money comes out of your pocket.” Let’s verify the claim made in the post.

The farmers’ brothers who sat here, you saw the pump, like a tube well pump, when you turn it on, it will eject water out from it. Likewise, a pump was installed. Do not laugh.
