Municipal elections are going on, you should campaign for the Congress party."
Akhilesh Shukla claimed that there was a debate between the two sides on the issue of wearing saffron kurta, after which the leaders and workers fought with each other. He alleged that dozens of people, including Congress party's Amethi district president Pradeep Singhal and Youth Congress district president Shubham Singh, thrashed him badly and even tore his clothes.

He claimed that Shukla wanted a position in the organization, which he was not getting, so he was making baseless allegations.
