Claim
In the poster, Akhilesh Yadav is shown with two hands, holding a copy of the Constitution in both hands.

Rationale
Multiple mainstream Indian outlets (AajTak, Navbharat, Newstrack) confirm the SP birthday poster from Varanasi (circulated around 1 July 2026) depicts Akhilesh Yadav as a four-armed Lord Krishna in which two of the hands hold copies of the Constitution instead of the chakra. The anchor's specific claim — that the poster shows two hands each holding a copy of the Constitution — matches the actual poster; the only omitted context is that it is a four-armed Krishna depiction, but the described detail is factually correct.
