Rahul Gandhi saying, "There is one member in this House who has been launched 13 times in politics. This member failed all 13 times. I have seen one launching when he went to meet a poor lady named Kalavati.

Following Shah's statement, the Congress party corrected Shah saying that Kalavati is not from Bundelkhand but lives in Yavatmal, Maharashtra.
The party shared a BBC video on the X platform in which Kalavati narrated her ordeal and recalled her meeting with Rahul Gandhi. In the video, Kalavati said, "Modi government is lying. Because of Rahul Gandhi's help, we got the education, food, and married-off children.
