A Twitter handle @NitaAmabani posted a tweet on January 11 which reads, “Reliance gifted a solar power plant to Ram Mandir that’s why these Mughal descendants don’t like us.” The account, created in September last year, has over 17,000 followers with ‘Reliance Group’ in the bio.

The viral claim has been getting a lot of shares on Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fact-check<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Alt News performed a keyword search and found an Economic Times article<\/a> from January 15, 2021. It stated that a nationwide fundraising campaign was being organized for the construction of the Ram Mandir from January 15 to February 27. NDTV<\/a> reported that President Ram Nath Kovind had donated an amount of Rs 5,00,100. However, we did not find any reports of the Reliance Group making a donation. There is also no information<\/a> about this on the Reliance Foundation’s Twitter account.<\/p>\n

Nita Ambani does not have a Twitter account<\/a>. The handle which tweeted the viral claim is a fake account created in her name. The first clue is that it’s not verified. Apart from this, a quick look through the older tweets posted by this user are enough to establish that it is a fake account<\/a>. Several political tweets have been issued from this account, with some targeting leaders like Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav. Had a well-known public figure like Nita Ambani made political statements against opposition leaders, they wouldn’t have gone unnoticed in the media.<\/p>\n
