<p>"Due to fear of defeat in the bye-elections, the BJP government has postponed the order of 'digital attendance' of teachers and 'demolition of Pantnagar and Indraprastha' in Lucknow. This should be completely cancelled," Akhilesh Yadav said in a post on X on Tuesday.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="hi">भाजपा सरकार ने उपचुनाव में हार के डर से शिक्षकों की &lsquo;डिजिटल अटेंडेंस&rsquo; व लखनऊ में &lsquo;पंतनगर व इंद्रप्रस्थ के ध्वस्तीकरण&rsquo; का फरमान स्थगित किया है, इसे पूरी तरह से निरस्त होना चाहिए।<br /><br />भाजपा का असली चेहरा शिक्षकों व आम जनता के सामने आ गया है। शिक्षक व आम जनता भाजपा को उपचुनाव ही नहीं,&hellip;</p>
