Gehlot soon tweeted the full clip on Twitter. The clip showed Gehlot saying, “I remember in my childhood when there was Jan Sangh, and Bhakra Dam was being made, these (Jan Sangh) people used to publicise and pester Nehru that he is making dam and build power house…and when electricity will be removed from water and the water goes to the farm, such water will have no energy and will be useless in the farm.”

“They have become genus scholars in spreading falsehood. How they have cut and edited my video and made it a tool to propagate their false agenda, is bizarre. That edited video is an eye-opener how social media is being misused and manipulated to malign the opposition,” Gehlot tweeted in reply.
