"Discontent within the UP BJP, particularly against chief minister Yogi Adityanath, has reached its peak and this is evident from the fact that Yogi was sidelined during the party's foundation day event in state capital (on Monday). It is a proof of the internal discord," Rai claimed at a press conference here.
