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.
