Some party units have decided to hold a 'havan' and pray for the well-being and long life of their leader.
Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party Lohia (PSPL) leader Shivpal Singh Yadav is also expected to wish Akhilesh on his birthday, especially after the recent reconciliation between the estranged leaders.
Since the past one month, Akhilesh Yadav has been rather active by holding video conference calls with party leaders in the districts. He is also revamping the party organization and gearing up for the 2022 assembly elections.
