These days a picture is getting viral on social media of Samajwadi party’s President Akhilesh Yadav, in which he stated that BJP might think if they have our “Daughter in Law’” on their side, they are going to win this election. In the viral tweet he further claim himself as “Ravan” (an antagonist in Ramayana ) and stated that Ravan can’t be killed by vibhishon ( brother of Ravan ) this time where the Amrit is hidden in my navel, no one knows. As he himself has seen Ramayana many a time despite being a Yadhuvanshi.
The trollers all over the internet are trolling Akhilesh on this statement of his, under various captions like, “ vinashkalya vipreet budhi” etc.

This Picture got viral after Aparna Yadav (daughter-in-law of Mulayam Singh Yadav) decided to join hands with the opposition party i.e. BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) in UP elections.
Fact Check
Through our research, we got to know that the picture is being viral from the fake account of Akhilesh Yadav @akhileshyadav and not from his official Twitter handle which is @yadavakhilesh . No such recent tweet is done through his account and all his recent tweets are on his manifesto of the elections in UP.
हम सपा सरकार में दी जा रही समाजवादी पेंशन को 6000 सालाना से तीन गुना बढ़ाकर 18000 प्रतिवर्ष किए जाने का संकल्प लेते हैं। इससे 1500 रू हर महीने ग़रीब-ज़रूरतमंद महिलाओं के खाते में सीधे जाएगा।
सपा व सहयोगियों की सरकार बनाने के लिए सभी से समर्थन देने की अपील है।#बाइस_में_बाइसिकल pic.twitter.com/PtxxDY5XHl

Also in an interview, Akhilesh congratulate Aparna on joining hands with BJP when questioned by a reporter. That was later posted on the official account of ANI News UP.

Conclusion
This fact check leads to two conclusions first , the official account of Akhilesh stated nothing like that it was some fake Twitter account spreading fake news.
Secondly, publicly he is not at all against Aparna Yadav.
Claim Review: Akhilesh Yadav calls himself “Ravan” on social media.
Claimed by: A fake Twitter account of Akhilesh Yadav @akhileshyadav.
Fact Check: Fake.
