Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav, while criticising the Uttar Pradesh government, said the "tension between New Delhi and Lucknow" was signalling a new crisis in the governance. "Along with the COVID-19 infection, UP is also suffering from a political infection. The BJP government has very few days left in power. Now, the CM (Yogi Adityanath) is losing control," Yadav added.
