He said: “The truth is that both the BJP cadre and RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh) volunteers have gone into hibernation owing to their disregard by the party and the government. Intense activities are going on in the BJP to overcome differences that have cropped up.”

Akhilesh said with both the government and the party were in disarray and the government was trying to mislead people with false Covid data and statistics.

Meawhile, several people took membership of Samajwadi Party in the presence of Barabanki Sadar SP MLA Dharmraj Singh alias Suresh Yadav, at the party’s Sadar office in Barabanki on Friday.
