A post is being widely shared on social media claiming that LK Advani had tweeted criticising RSS, Modi, and Amit Shah. Let us fact-check the claim made in the post.

Claim: LK Advani tweeted criticising RSS, Modi, and Amit Shah.

Fact: LK Advani, the former Deputy Prime Minister of India has no official twitter account, therefore, he could not have made any tweets by himself. In June 2013, LK Advani resigned from all decision-making panels of the BJP because of the alleged RSS’ micromanaging of affairs in BJP and his displeasure with people like Narendra Modi. However, a couple of days later, he withdrew his resignation. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.

LK Advani, the former President of BJP, has no official twitter account, hence he could not have made any tweets by himself. When we searched for @LK_Adwani twitter account mentioned in the post, we found that the account doesn’t exist anymore. The purported tweet that was shared in the post could also not be found as the account doesn’t exist anymore. The full name of LK Advani is Lal Krishna Advani. There is a spelling mistake in the name of the twitter handle. It is ‘Advani’, not ‘Adwani’.

We searched for any news articles regarding such statements made by Lal Krishna Advani on RSS, Modi, and Amit Shah but found none. In June 2013, LK Advani resigned from all decision-making panels of the BJP. The reasons being RSS’ micromanaging of affairs in BJP and his displeasure with people like Narendra Modi. However, a couple of days later, he withdrew his resignation.

To sum it up, LK Advani did not tweet about RSS, Modi, and Amit Shah; he has no official twitter account.
