Earlier, a video of Gandhi petting the puppy was shared by the official Bharat Jodo Yatra handle, however, the clip did not include the biscuit episode.
The "biscuit" video has now gone viral, with many accusing the Congress leader of mistreating his supporters and party workers.
Some users have, however, claimed that the puppy belonged to the supporter Gandhi was speaking to and that the Congress leader had given him the biscuits to feed the puppy later.
Earlier, a lot of people tagged the Assam chief minister and asked for his views on the matter.
Reacting over the dog controversy at a press conference, Gandhi said, “I called the dog and the owner. The dog was nervous, shivering and when I tried to feed it, the dog got scared. So I gave biscuits to the dog's owner and the dog ate them from his hand. I don't understand what's the issue with it."
Further dismissing the allegations, he said, "No, where was he a Congress worker? I don't understand BJP's obsession with dogs."
Sarma's dog incident
In various interviews, Sarma, who was earlier with Congress, has often claimed that when he had visited Gandhi for a meeting along with other senior Congress leaders, they were offered biscuits from the same plate on which his pet dog ate biscuits.

After the video went viral, the Assam chief minister further slammed the Congress leader.
In reply to a user who had tagged him, Sarma said. "Not only Rahul Gandhi but the entire family could not make me eat that biscuit. I am a proud Assamese and Indian. I refused to eat and resign from the Congress."
Other BJP leaders also slammed Gandhi over the viral video.
BJP leader Amit Malviya said, "It is natural for a party to become extinct when its prince...treats party workers like dogs".
