"Contrary to fake news being spread by certain TV channels and certain sections of the print media, Mr Rahul Gandhi is spending today, which is a rest day of the Bharat Jodo Yatra, at the container camp," Ramesh said debunking reports that Gandhi was in the national capital.
"A medical camp has been organised for Bharat Yatris and Mr Gandhi is just resting and relaxing in Chalakudy," he said.
