Claim: Video of Smriti Irani predicting Akhilesh Yadav's victory in a public meeting.
Fact-check: Clipped video shared as Smriti Irani predicting victory of Samajwadi Party in the elections - FACTLY
Verdict: the short video clip being shared is an excerpt of smriti irani's recent address at a public gathering in up's baghpat. the video is being shared out of context. in the lengthier version of the speech, smriti irani's viral comments followed after her reference to ayodhya firings of 1990, when the then cm mulayam singh yadav ordered police firing at karsewaks, marching towards ayodhya. further, following the viral comments, smriti can be heard saying 'the women have already decided that they will not allow the sp-rld government to form. now, i came here to hear what the brothers have to say' referring to the men and women present in the meeting. hence the claim made in the post is false.
