Reacting to SP chief Akhilesh Yadav's claim that Akhadas didn't participate in the Mauni Amavasya Amrit Snan on January 29 due to stampede, Bada Akhada Mahamandaleshwar Hari Chetnanand Udasin said Akhilesh was lying. "All 13 Akhadas took a holy dip in Sangam on 'Mauni Amavasya'," he added. "Never thought Akhilesh would try to spread such rumours," he further said.
